Golden Gate Bridge Suicide Net Plan Gets Boost
First topic message reminder :
It is hoped a net made of stainless steel cable extending below and from the side of the span will save hundreds of lives.
Officials say they have funds to build a suicide-prevention net at San Francisco Bay's Golden Gate Bridge where two jump to their deaths each month.
The bridge's board of directors will vote on Friday on the plan, which has been debated since the 1950s.
One of the obstacles - the price tag - fell away on Monday as officials announced they had $76m (£45m) for the project.
Most of the new money comes from federal transport programmes, while the rest will be paid out of the bridge's own reserves and state mental health funding.
The bridge district's plan calls for a net made of stainless steel cable extending 20ft below and 20ft from the side of the span.
Anyone who jumps from the span might be injured but would probably survive the fall, say officials.
"For whatever reason, suicidal people don't want to hurt themselves," Dennis Mulligan, the bridge district's general manager, told KTVU-TV.
"At other locations where nets have been up no individual has jumped into the net."
More than 1,400 people have leapt to their deaths from the 4,200-ft suspension bridge since it opened in 1937.
Every year, scores of people contemplating suicide are coaxed not to jump from the span.
On average, there are two suicides a month at the structure.
The Bridge Rail Foundation, which tracks fatalities on the span, said 46 people committed suicide there last year.
Backers of the suicide net were boosted in 2012 when President Barack Obama signed a transportation bill allowing federal funds to flow to the project.

Good idea, if people want to kill themselves they don't want to do something that will hurt them but not kill them, so it sounds logical.

Re: Golden Gate Bridge Suicide Net Plan Gets Boost
Well lets see if Lovedust can answer after the hundredth time
there is no evidence to connect here, they are again just going off a decrease overall, but clearly on all of the reports the suicide jumpers rate increases in areas close by.
You have avoided my opinion and questions, then just asked more questions yourself or just copied what others have said. I do not mind you using experts to back your view, but you use them as debate, where they cannot be responded to, that is a flawed philosophy in debating and proves you know little on the subject, you just believe what they say.
I deem what experts are claiming as flawed on claiming that a net will make a person who is suicidal give up on the idea, because just one place has a net, that is flawed and they come to this conclusion based on an overall decrease in a set time period, not ruling out if it is in fact other factors that have created this decrease. Again in Toronto, the numbers doubled for other areas near by where people jumped. The nets will deter people jumping on that bridge and save accidents which I am glad for that benefit to help, they will not though and there is no evidence to link they will reduce suicide rates overall or stop people using other methods, when again world wide the numbers have increased by 60%.
Again human intervention is best, for helping people and deterring people from trying.
So can you show me on any of these reports they have ruled out other factors that have could have created the decrease overall in an area over that short time period? Can they explain why it does increase again, if as claimed suicide nets put people off altogether attempting suicide? Can they explain why jumping increases nearby on other buildings, if it s meant to put people off attempting suicide altogether?
So I have asked you again questions, here, I would like to see some answers for a change

But they can't possibly show that didge. By your reasoning, studies on suicide prevention are invalid unless they take into account
all factors, like economic situations, financial, relationship situations, levels of bullying, depression etc

Actually Didge the other factors the experts took into account include:
1) Public Education Campaigns
2) Primary Care Physicians
3) Gatekeepers
4) Screening
5) Pharmacotherapy
6) Psychotherapy
7) Follow-up care following suicide attempts
and
Media Blackouts
and they still concluded "restricting access to lethal methods reduce[s] suicide rates".
Sorry but you are very mistaken, that is not taking into all factors, like economic situations, financial, relationship situations, levels of bullying, depression etc
So do the studies on which you have based your opinion take into account all factors like economic situations, financial, relationship situations, levels of bullying, depression etc?

Well, lets just be thankful it's going ahead because it got support from all those that had studied it, and hopefully, once it is put in place, which is a while off yet before it is finished, all those poor sods who have to deal with the suicides now, won't have to deal with them anymore.

That's odd - I think I've been extremely diligent in answering didge's questions - often multiple times. Can anyone else show me where I've been "poor" or "ignored" didge's points?
In the meantime didge, perhaps you could stop deflecting and answer my question:-
You claimed that conclusions drawn from studies are invalid if those studies do not take into account "all factors like economic situations, financial, relationship situations, levels of bullying, depression etc".
Yet the studies you have quoted from also fail to take into account "all factors like economic situations, financial, relationship situations, levels of bullying, depression etc". Correct?.

^^Deflection. You seem to have realised that your whole rationale for dismissing studies supportive of The Harvard Public School of Health/John Grohol stance also applies to all the studies you have quoted. Therefore, by logical extension, you must also dismiss your own quoted studies (and their "methodology") as invalid.
Cheers Didge

Thanking someone for their mistaken belief you have answered, does not mean you have, the worst part being how you have never even answered why each year suicide rates keep increasing even with all these preventive measures.
As I say, when you wish to actually for once answer my points throughout, will hall continue the debate

I deem what experts are claiming as flawed on claiming that a net will make a person who is suicidal give up on the idea, because just one place has a net, that is flawed and they come to this conclusion based on an overall decrease in a set time period, not ruling out if it is in fact other factors that have created this decrease. Again in Toronto, the numbers doubled for other areas near by where people jumped. The nets will deter people jumping on that bridge and save accidents which I am glad for that benefit to help, they will not though and there is no evidence to link they will reduce suicide rates overall or stop people using other methods, when again world wide the numbers have increased by 60%.
Again human intervention is best, for helping people and deterring people from trying.
So can you show me on any of these reports they have ruled out other factors that have could have created the decrease overall in an area over that short time period? Can they explain why it does increase again, if as claimed suicide nets put people off altogether attempting suicide? Can they explain why jumping increases nearby on other buildings, if it s meant to put people off attempting suicide altogether?
So I have asked you again questions, here, I would like to see some answers for a change
But they can't possibly show that didge. By your reasoning, studies on suicide prevention are invalid unless they take into account
all factors, like economic situations, financial, relationship situations, levels of bullying, depression etcPhildidge wrote:

So do the studies on which you have based your opinion take into account all factors like economic situations, financial, relationship situations, levels of bullying, depression etc?

Like I said it is easy to expose your poor tactics throughout, when you wish to address, my points, I will be happy to continue, but am not going to allow you to continue in such a poor fashion.
Didge , your being condescending with LD here, despite providing you with credible sources, stats etc...
Last I looked in here you were still avoiding one of LD's questions.
This talk of trying to sound overly-knowledgeable doesn't bare well Didge, you don't have to speak down to her like that...and you've obviously took nothing in which LD has said and info supplied , but all you constantly do is more or less answer as....
Neh-neh I'm right , your wrong no matter what , hands are over my ears.
LA-LA-LA.
That's what your doing mate.

I see the gang are still ganging and pretending they are not. Come on Didge, tell them to 'move on for the good of the board'. After all, that way you can avoid Lovey's question again.

All dragging this thread up shows is that you did start it to wind up Quill.
You know that dragging others in is pure cowardice?
You have a point there so maybe we'll hear no more of this 'posse' nonsense that just drags others into it as well.
Thanks Irn xx
I know you must find it maddening to be dragged into the mire especially when you are not even here!
Just one thing though, you haven't mentioned 'GRANGE HILL GANG' or 'NORMAL CREW' etc. Was that just an oversight on your part? Thanks.

Just a shame that Didge has not reciprocated LD, rather than his 'try again' cop out nonsense.

I don't mind my name being dragged into anything as long as it is accurate and broadly reflects my point of view, so don't assume I will be maddened by that.
On the second question you may have noticed that I didn't mention the name in the 'posse' reference so you can take that to mean all groups including any that name specific individuals
Does that clear it up?

I dont think names were needed really as I have only ever seen Quill and Bee use posse.
In the interests of fairness, Im sure you will confirm that you also oppose the use of inflammatory things like grange hill gang or normal crew just as strongly?

I've already said that about all gangs and I include all those who appear to support or subscribe them as well.

I didn't use a name when I said 'posse' in the first place and I've answered your question fairly and honestly. A 'posse' is a gang and all gangs means all gangs and there is absolutely no reason that I can think of why you would want me to make a distinction between those mentioned.

Because using just one term and refusing to even acknowledge others makes you appear biased.
You used posse I asked you to condemn grange hill Gang and normal crew no names mentioned and you wont.

I said 'posse nonsense' and no name was mentioned and a posse is a gang.
The others you named as a gang are a gang aren't they?
Have I said I included all gangs? Yes I did

How about Irn if you say that by 'gangs' you mean gangs and posse's (which you already have) and you condemn the use of the words, and Nems says the same thing. Seems fair to me.

OK but you are by far the worst offender, gangs, the grange hill gang, the normal crew; are you prepared to condemn the use of those words? Seems fair to me ::D::
