It ain’t a real party til someone jumps over the side!

I just recently called it “suicide bridge” to someone who had never seen it before. I told them everyone called it that, but I began to doubt myself. Thanks for helping me still feel knowledgeable.

So let me get this straight. It’s a bridge. A high bridge. They throw a party on the bridge. With alcohol. Why does that sound like a fatal accident — and lawsuit — waiting to happen?

Dave, I never knew it by any other name. My father-in-law has always used that name, he says it got the name because so many jumped during Black Friday that triggered the name.

And Matt, never heard of a suit out of it yet and I’ve been doing this event whenever I’m in town for a few years now. A lot of fun.

it’s got a pretty high fence on it. it would take real effort to get over. if someone tried to scale it it’d not only be easy to see, but easy to wrestle them down before they got to the top. of course, i don’t know of many people who go to street fairs with suicidal intent, soooo…
