for those of you going blue in the face whilst ranting about vancouver's shitty bar scene:
i suppose you've been to every single bar in vancouver, then? because there couldn't POSSIBLY be any bars in the city that don't cater to mega-tanned bitches and cologne-saturated date rapists.
i assure you i don't frequent those types of bars, but then again, i don't go to gastown when i head out for the night. there are other places to go. places that don't require standing in line for an hour, then paying a $25 cover, then grinding retardedly on a dance floor to shitty music while sipping on a water-down drink that cost more than most people make per hour.
but finding those other bars does require you to look around, instead of relying on travel tips from like-minded hipster losers or, even worse, the vice guide to vancouver.

In my life I've found that only the crapulent, corrupt, and emotionally retarded among us feel the need to exert control over how others evaluate and regard the world of beauty around them. You don't like photoshopped suicides: fine. But let's not spoil it for others, Nate. All right.
Nod's question makes me wonder: *could* there have been something in the pigments he used? Say he sticks a brush with deadly octopus ink in his mouth, or some kind of heavy metal. See what I'm saying? Food for thought.

You are spot on about Vancouver's paltry bar scene and heavy handed liquor laws, in that way and so many others, the city is just not grown up. This is not so surprising, bearing in mind that 120 years ago, Vancouver was a big forest, a nightlife culture takes centuries to develop (ie Berlin) What really does shock me, as a local, is people's willingness to accept the patronizing, authoritarian mentality of the liquor laws. Then again, with all the choves and ginos I've seen on coke-fueled roid rages, I really have to wonder if everyone can handle freedom of choice.
But anyways, sorry bro, for all its beauty, people do jump off the the Lion's Gate. Oh yeah and 50 feet is about 20 more than it takes most people to die when falling without anything to break their fall or slow them on the way down.
I've seen people jump off the Cambie bridge and they really seemed to be having a good time, though if anyone tries it I recommend the part over water, hight tide and a hot shower with antibacterial soap.

hahaha@ the fool that called seattle a wanna be city; vancouver is more full of try-hards than any place in the free world, has draconian liquor laws and no free pour, shuts down at 1 am, has way too many skinny girls coked out and wearing $3000 outfits to wait in line for two hours for a "club" with a $20 cover charge and a "dj" who plays nothing but Top 40. Youｴre hilarious.
One time, as I was walking home from work I got to the Georgia street bridge, which was blocked off for cars but open to pedestrians. As I got closer to the cambie side I had a look over the side and saw a dude lying naked and dead on the ground. Thatｴs only like a fifty foot fall.
p.s. no one jumps off the lionｴs gate precisely because the view is too nice. Youｴd be all like, "oh, there really is a God" and not do it.

maybe it is a fake or maybe it isn't but seriously, why would someone fake a pic of something that happens ALL THE FUCKING TIME.
body looks too big?=it is closer to the camera than the boats behind it (that's called PERSPECTIVE)
grainy photo=camera phone
spots=rain on window of the false creek ferry, from where this photo was more than likely taken.
rain=Vancouver fall winter spring and most of summer
people who work at the fuel barge, marina and ferries=traumatized/bored of hauling out the dead.
I worked down there for years, when south Granville was junkie paradise the bodies just seemed to fall from the sky.
One night while on the water,I watched a guy climb over the railing of the adjacent, slightly higher Granville bridge, and do like the kid in superman, let go, grab, let go, while leaning backwards over the 45 meters (150ft) of yonder. Some guy in a trenchcoat was walking over the brigde and grabbed him, pulling him back to the deck and safety. They traded a few shoves and punches then walked off, one north, one south. In my years there, many dozens took the plunge
Lion's Gate really is the conoisseur's jumping-off point, great view, and, if the fall doesn't get you, the current will.

Yep, this is definitely Burrard Street Bridge in Vancouver. And it ain't Photoshopped. With the amount of grey and rain and heroin in this city, it's a regular occurance. I live 3 blocks from the bridge, and yep, people shut down traffic often in order to almost and sometimes succeed in jumping off the bridge.
What's a don't is choosing Burrard street over the Lion's Gate Bridge, perhaps the most beautiful bridge and view in the world. And it's about twice the elevation of Burrard street; you can see practically to Japan. When I jump, it'll be off the Lion's Gate.

Shirtless and shoeless, he was pulling beers out of his pocket,chugging them, and throwing the cans into the water. The cops shut off 4 lanes of the bridge and wound up using a lassoo or some shit to get him off the railing... I lost the bet.

That is most definitely the Burrard bridge, Vancouver. Tugboat Mustang at the fuel dock, Coast guard base Kitsilano in the background and the cutter Osprey standing by, its crew thinking, "oh shit, not again".
It happens all the time, the only time it makes the news is when traffic gets blocked. The drivers of the little ferry boats in the bay there have almost all pulled jumpers out.
I found a dead body floating in the water once, just about 100m beyond where that photo was taken, I have no idea how it got there, and the cops wouldn't tell me.
I've been told that most of the jumpers are still alive when they get pulled out of the water, but die shortly thereafter.

Hate to be the science nerd, but I'm a med student and someone asked for it...
You're almost guaranteed to tear your aorta in half, with immediate global loss of blood pressure to your brain, heart, etc as you exsanguinate internally. Prolly also tear your brain apart as the force is enough to shear it against the dural reflections within you skull. In addition you damage so much muscle you release massive amounts of Potassium, which depolarizes all of your excitable tissue and would stop your heart instantly. That's why they give potassium shots during lethal injection.
You probably feel intense pain for about 1/10 of a second before the force of impact renders you unconcious, but you die way before you have the opportunity to drown.
Yeah, suicide, don't do it.

Suicide by bridge is gruesome, and death is almost certain. People have survived the fall, but not many. You might survive if you hit the water feet first and come in at a slight angle.
The impact is tremendous. The body goes from roughly 75 to 80 mph to nearly zero in a nanosecond. The physics of inertia being what they are, internal organs tend to keep going. The force of impact causes them to tear loose. Autopsy reports typically indicate that the jumpers have lacerated aortas, livers, spleens and hearts. Ribs are often broken, and the impact shoves them into the heart or lungs. Jumpers have broken sternums, clavicles, pelvises and necks. Skull fractures are common.

It looks like he is going to hit the boat. I wonder if that is worse than the immense impact of the water hitting your body like a sheet of metal.
What exactly happens to cause the death? I know it is from massive impact, but specifically......
Does your brain hemmorage on contact?
Do specific body organs rupture and your boy is filled with trauma then you die?
Do you drown while simultaneously having ruptured organs?
Is this as quick as a gun?
Or more painful?
I wonder what suicide victims would tell us if they could come back.
