If all your friends jumped off a bridge, then would you?

Was there a sign saying “Don’t jump off the bridge?” If not, I smell a lawsuit!

we cannot stress enough the importance of paying attention to advisories and signage which are put in place to ensure your safety," said Siacamous RCMP detachment commander Sgt. Murray McNeil. He can't stress it enough - that's obvious since stressing it achieved nothing.
The problem for the nanny state red-tape finger-waggers is that they have drowned the world in advisories and signage. Warnings are issued for every little thing, especially glaringly obvious conditions like wet pavement after a rainstorm. They have cried wolf repeatedly and have the brass neck to wonder why their cries are ignored.
To claim that signs 'ensure' safety is to have an irrational belief in their power. But, as this episode demonstrates, irrational people will ignore the magic signs especially when they are running with the crowd.

Also need a floating sign in the river, “Caution: Jumpers must resurface after entering water”.

3 out of 4 jumpers agree - it’s perfectly safe.

Police say there is nothing criminal about the death.
Just criminally stupid.

Sad for the girl and family.
Made the mistake of keeping my legs open on a 40’ jump into the water once.
Sang soprano for an hour.

While breezing along on the Interstate while the outside temp is 95, your in vehicle AC pumping for all it is worth, traffice ‘choked’ and that pleasant little sign
BRIDGES FREEZE BEFORE ROADWAY
Pops up and immediately gives you something to ‘talk’ about - even if you are alone.
Kind of like the old ‘Baby On Board’ sign..
I was fixin’ to ram that car in front of me but seeing as it has a baby on board sign, I will wait and pick someone else.
Then again, if one is on their PHONE or chomping down on a ‘sit down meal’ and acting like they are on their couch, all the traffic or signs in the world won’t matter.
