Sfgate.com has a map of suicides by location on the Golden Gate Bridge. Among the disturbing facts you can glean from this is that the most common place to jump off is at lamppost number 69. Perhaps, as they chose where to stop and jump, a large number of suicidal people maintained a sense of humor? Or did a reminder of sex trigger shame and self-hatred? Or does there just happen to be a marker there, or an easy place to jump from?
