I think it's going to turn out all right.

Passer-by pushes suicide jumper in south China

Chen Fuchao, a man heavily in debt, had been contemplating suicide on a bridge in southern China for hours when a passer-by came up, shook his hand — and pushed him off the ledge.

Chen fell 26 feet (8 meters) onto a partially inflated emergency air cushion laid out by authorities and survived, suffering spine and elbow injuries, the official Xinhua News Agency said Saturday.

The passer-by, 66-year-old Lai Jiansheng, had been fed up with what he called Chen's "selfish activity," Xinhua said. Traffic around the Haizhu bridge in the city of Guangzhou had been backed up for five hours and police had cordoned off the area.

A shot of the pusher afterwards, the newest hero of China :lol:

i wouldnt have thought china would care enough to send anyone to scrape jumpers' corpses off of the pavement, let alone cops and negotiators and all like we do.

hahahahahha

this is the best

by Talon Sun May 24, 2009 9:23 pm

I've said it before, but 99.9% of the people who attempt suicide are just looking for attention. If people stateside did stuff like the pusher, I bet there'd be a lot less attempts.

Yeah, if you really wanted to jump you'd just go and do it. People jump from the Golden Gate often enough that these exist:

i say if they want to jump just do it, or else stop wasting everyone's time.

I think the people that actually want to just jump and don't stand around trying to decide what to do. Suicides off the golden gate are only estimated because the currents likely carry many corpses out to sea.

i've driven past those signs. :roflmao:

seattle used to have a lot of jumpers from the fremont bridge, but the volume seems to have dropped off in recent years. :gah

by thewalrus Mon May 25, 2009 1:05 pm

We have those signs on the bridges in Edmonton. I don't know why they'd ever think that someone who lives in Edmonton might want to kill themselves.

by Aristotle Mon May 25, 2009 1:07 pm

i know, right?!

What a way to go out. Throwing yourself off the 109th street bridge in Edmonton. Your bloated, pasty corpse bobbing down the North Saskatchewan River. Probably get grounded out on a shallow bit so kids could throw rocks and sticks at you in an attempt to dislodge what's left of your carcass.

Fuck Aris, I went to the grocery store yesterday to pick up some peanut butter for my peanut butter / jam sandwhichs today.

Bought it. Today, I open it up and the FUCKING SEAL IS BROKEN. God knows how long, but I wasn't gonig to risk eating it.

So I have to buy lunch today, and then buy more peanut butter tonight. :undies:

by Aristotle Mon May 25, 2009 2:07 pm

awwww fffffffffuck

the open seal is the worst. i distinctly remember buying some milk back in the day, and the little plastic seal thing was missing. :undies:

by Aristotle Mon May 25, 2009 2:08 pm

They even have them on little 3-foot high bridges over drainage ditches.

by Aristotle Mon May 25, 2009 3:38 pm

i had to go to red apple meximart and buy two mexi singles, which cost me $3!! i could have bought a case of 24 for $20, if costco had been open.

who the fuck closes a store like costco on fucking memorial day, when every dipshit on the planet is barbecuing meat, and costco is like the #1 meat provider around here.

this is the old hotspot in my home town. some old caves used as storage in WW2 and all the local devil worshippers hang out inside and all the local suicides hang themselves from the overhanging trees. it was the place we'd all go as kids to try and scare the shit out of ourselves

I'm looking forward to China taking us over 10529-0

by Aristotle Mon May 25, 2009 4:05 pm

that's kind of cool, though.

we don't have stuff like that here. Woe

by JaysonAych Mon May 25, 2009 4:10 pm

We had a place like that. An area where there was a couple of old train tunnels, a town that the locals creatively called Tunnelton.

exactly. THe closest thing we had were some abandoned coal mines. And those were all sealed up tight by the City.

by Pennzoil GT-R Mon May 25, 2009 4:18 pm

man there's all sorts of haunted shit and potential death traps in the countryside here. health & safety monkeys would go nuts if anyone ever bothered to tell them about them.

by Aristotle Mon May 25, 2009 4:24 pm

all the cool WWII stuff is on the other side of the ocean. :undies:
