  • That wont help if he wanted to die...I mean whats is the point....my dad jumped off a bridge but wouldnt want anyoone to save him,,,I dont understand why u would jump without bellyflopping so u would die, did he do a dive, a swan dive? Maybe he was a professional cliff diver.....or maybe just an idiot, I dont undertsand the logic....maybe he was too dumb to do it correctly.....

  • Aah crikey

  • So embarrassed to be Australian right now...

  • AN Aussie lol "Guy Just jumped Off The Fucking Bridge"

  • I love how the guy keeps his fucking bike helmet on throughout the whole thing.

  • God new his end wasn't ready. He has something looking forward

  • If he wanted to die, why not just drown himself once in the water? May be there is no logic.

  • why not call am ambulance, rather than film it? "I'm shaking like a fecking leaf"......but can still video it for youtube.

  • @THthefirst they sound like they aren't from america and in different parts of the world they have different emergency numbers.

  • @THthefirst If you notice, the guy speaking is on the phone... he is calling for help, and his friend/relative is filming it for youtube

  • @THthefirst There's really no point, barely anyone survives that jump. People jump every 15 days on average.

  • Nice boat.

  • Unlucky mate, better luck next time!

  • Those people sound more annoyed cause they didn't catch the guy on video actually jumping!

  • Perhaps he just fancied going for a swim

  • By the time that dude works how and who to phone the poor jumper would most likely have drowned anyway.

  • No 5 pigs will attack him with billy clubs and beat him to death.

  • chopper fucking reed

  • @roffy89 Hahahahaha I reckon ay

  • gosh, that must have been a terrible thing to see!

  • 32 people wants to kill the guy..

  • Sick ocean cutter!!!!! US coast guard rocks!!!!

  • did you find out what happened after??? or who that person is and what made him jump off?

  • damn my boy is hard to kill. im sure he really appreciates having a second chance. he looks relatively okay.

  • Leaves shake?

  • Crazy fool!!!!!

  • That was Kevin Hines.

  • @jrb822 nop, that guy is not Kevin, this video happend on sept 2007, and Kevin Hines jumped in 2000

  • @darrelwylde Damn, the same thing literally happened to Kevin.

  • When you hit like that you down drown from the water, you basicly drown in your own blood.

  • that guy's very lucky he landed in the water the way he did he could have broke his neck and drowned while he was still alive its good to see your sons doing well

    laurahiatt22@yahoo.com

  • the man that jumped off the golden gate bridge was my son a friend told me this was on here watching this was like reliving this very bad night mare all over again. my son is doing good after spending 1yr in the mental ward sf hosital i hope no one has to go threw what we went threw that god for the coast guard they saved my son life laurahiatt22@yahoo.com

  • Are you Australian?

  • He was just practicing for the Olympic high dive competitions

  • fail

  • oh yay he survived!

  • 00.28- 00.32, Is he still moving his arms? How can he still be alive after that?

  • That nigger don't want to listen his story just want his driver license?!?! Wow!

  • You got the rare chance to see someone jump off the famous bridge right before your eyes, why the fuck do you take the camera away at last second at the most thrilling part? Take that however you want, i think it's very unfortunate that people commit suicide but if you're there to film it, it makes no sense to me to take the camera to away...like what the fuck. It's good enough though..

  • @fannicoleely It thrils you to watch people die? That's pretty fucked up....

  • @420Guitar420 Yea, it does thrill me. It doesn't thrill me in the excited way, i don't even know if i picked the right word. But of course I'm curious to see what happens once they hit the water, i'm sure that's the whole reason people dedicated a year to film this, anyway. because it's interesting.

  • @fannicoleely If you are refering to the film "The Bridge," that film is about telling the public about the tragedy of the people that jump and to get the government to put up fences which could easily prevent people from taking their lives.

  • @fannicoleely He said in the video if you heard that he only started to film with his camera after the guy jumped off the bridge.

  • I was right next to the camera man and the dude on the phone. Me and my friend and his parents wanted to walk across at 2:43 that my friend and im at 2:54

  • did he die? did the police arrest his dead body as well?

  • What color is his shirt again?

  • I hate people who do this stupid shit. These people are just attention seekers. I know some people are going to be pissed at what I have to say, but the true "suiciders" put a gun in their mouth and pull a trigger. I hate these idiots who go out and do it in public... Like are you fucking kidding me? People don't want to see you jump from the Empire State Building or Golden Gate Bridge... If you want to kill yourself, do it in your home... My god... Stupid idiots.

  • @LoveTheCity123 some people want to go out epicly and not with their brain juice all over the floor,

  • @josepasillas530 epicly? you have no respect whatsoever

  • @LoveTheCity123 what the hell is wrong with you?

  • @LoveTheCity123 I'm sure dead people care what you think.

  • because it's all in the way you hit the water, gene hit flat on his back wich most likely broke it while bursting organs in his body. The guy in this video and other survivors landed feet first at a slight angle..it's the only way to land if your ever in this situation folks..

  • lol oh wow!!!! boy jumps off bridge, amazingly survives, is being saved by police, and "oh hey look at that fish! no wait its a seal! ITS A SEAL!!!" lol am i the only one who heard that?

  • God bless the USCG

  • After all this he will probably just try again..

  • amazing considering out of more than 1400 jumpers about 30 are known to have survived.

  • is that Kevin Hines?

  • @SuperPeacelovemusic No that isn't Kevin Hines. Kevin jumped in 2000. I know him.

  • wtf how did he survive but gene didn't thats shit , but this guy looks like he broke his legs or something , thats crazy

  • Something i read about the suicides on wikipedia: On March 10, 2011, 17 year-old Luhe “Otter” Vilagomez from Windsor High School in Windsor, California survived a jump from the bridge, breaking his tailbone and puncturing one lung, though saying his attempt was for "fun" and not suicide.

    WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU THINKING THEN? ALOT OF PEOPLE JUMP OFF THE BRIDGE TO COMMIT SUICIDE, WHY THE FUCK WOULD HE DO IT FOR FUN?! FUCKING LITTLE BASTARD.

  • That kid who laughed is an idiot. And how many times does 911 need to ask about his appearance? My gosh.

  • HOW DO PEOPLE DIE FROM JUMPING OFF IT THOUGH?

  • @MSDP1258 They are so far up... the impact kills them.

  • @aquaowl211 Ah oh wow,thanks. Crazy

  • @MSDP1258 When they hit the water it's like a truck hitting a brick wall. There bones crack and ribs snap etcc=. I didn't know either

  • @MSDP1258 Yeah, it's because the bridge is so far up. They gain all this speed and momentum, so when they hit the water, it's somewhat like cement.

  • @MSDP1258 When the human body hits the water at a speed of 76 miles per hour it's like a truck slamming into a brick way. Impact breaks bones....which in turn spear into your organs. If by chance you survive this, you drown when you under the water or die from hypothermia.

  • awww wow he was a feisty sheilla he was anyways, just got away from me after we compared knives aww wow!

  • I Suggest to every people who gonna suicide: Give me your cool stuff / money before you suicide ! LOL

  • at 2:26 you hear a "swim dude swim"

  • Crazy stuff...

  • AUSSIES gotta love them

  • awesome footage. well shot. thanks for posting... i sincerely hope this guy was able to put his life together again.

  • its good 2 hear he survived, its bad to hear that more then 2,000 people died jumping off this gate

  • Kevin Hines was the only other person to survive in 2000

  • Lucky bastard..Nearly everyone who jumps off that dies

  • and when they try to pull the guy up on to the boat, he gets eaten by a great white shark

  • I wish that was bieber in the water.

  • I'd feel like the biggest noob in that water with all those people watching.

  • It's Bob I know him... Bob don't surf...

  • It's Bob I know him...lol

  • how can anyone laugh your sick......... do you know how much pain he must be in to do that. how would you like it if someone laughed at you through that

  • hahahaha "meters"...the operator is probably like "Wtf are meters?"

  • Shit, I thought they were getting ready to gaff him at around 8:36.

    Anyone have any follow-up to this? Did he survive (no fatal internal injuries)?

    God bless us all.

    BTW< "Shaking like a leaf" is an OLD expression as if shaking like a leaf in the wind.

  • AND JESUS CHRIST HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO GET THE FUCKING COST GUARD TO THE NUMBER ONE SUCIDE LOCATION IN THE WORLD?

    i guess survivors would only encourage more people to to take the gamble.

  • this shit pissed me off so much. laugh it up faggots, you don't have a fucking clue. btw, maybe he can't fucking swim because he hit the water at 65 miles and hour and has broken bones. people like you are why people like him jump off.

  • How thous suicide people can die if there is very deep in the water.?

  • @saldais10 because. imagine jumping off that, but into concrete. same force on the impact but with water. dead on impact. one of the least painful ways to die. ive thought about doing it but havent yet.

  • @FrikkinChildren y would u try suicide?

  • @FrikkinChildren why would you wanna do that?? please don't do it...ur too cute to die ;)

  • @saldais10 because the water is hard when u hit it and in the san fran bayt heres sharks cuz alcatraz

  • Heartless? Failure? You Hipocrites! Your as much as your words explain themselves and for one fact if YOU"RE STILL LIVING, DRunk, you are the failure and if you are dead.... you are still one! Suicide is not funny, but its stupid as fuck!!! Its pointless! kill yourself and what happens tomorrow?

  • @jtimmer15 what happens tomorrow? Nothing! because you are dead. I believe if someone wishes to commit suicide, do it! Fulfill your dreams.

  • No wonder most people die jumping off that bridge. It's not the fall that kills you...it's waiting for that slow-ass crew to pluck you out of the water. You drown waiting for them.

  • This guy jumped to his death and survived... when I look at him its like a see a dead person its really weird

  • does anyone know who this was? can somebody tell me please? is he still alive?

  • darooagain-hope you are joking or seeking attention if not get help asap-suicide helpline-think about your family,if not yourself and think of your enemies happiness-suicide is a perm solution to a temp problem-DONT do it.GGB is a bad way to go-I bet you if you do it you will regret it as soon as you jump

  • Comment removed

  • i thought once they get close to him, he will pull up his 9 mm and blow up his head

  • owned. he did not die

  • Gee the rate doubled in 2007, it's no coincidence that the documentary about suicide jumpers using the bridge was released in October 2006. Dramas ad films depicting suicide and suicide attempts cause a boost in the stats particularly in the methods and locations depicted.

  • yeah im planning to exit this way.. had no idea about it until the bridge came out, thanks eric steele!

  • It's a well known psychological phenomenon that this happens and here yet again we have an effect predicted by the theory. When popular soap operas depict suicide the suicide rates shoot up and they shoot up using the method shown on the soap. Someone making a movie about suicide jumpers on a landmark draws jumpers like moths to a flame. It really is no surprise that the suicide rate on the bridge doubled after this movie was released.

  • Yeah, i hear they are finally planning to put up a barrier... but im sure that'll take some time yet, i'm going in a couple of months. absolutely sick of this world, its gonna be a sweet escape

  • darooagain, if you do jump and in mid-flight change your mind, aim for a bar (as this gentleman did) or straighten out and try to hit the water with your feet first at a slight angle. you might only break your legs and/or back this way. it looks as if the gentleman in this video has broken something as he is not moving his feet. if you are planning on jumping, realize that consequences of surviving. broken bones, damaged organs, social stigma, financial debt and trouble with the law.

  • are you that much of a gutless coward that you would sooner kill your self than face life head on, just think of the people that you will be leaving behind, LIFE IS HARD, GET OVER IT AND LOOK TO THE FUTURE!!!! I did and i got through it

  • @sewerrat8 AMEN.....they want to leave us behind to handle the dirty work called "LIFE"

  • @sewerrat8 what do you mean you got through it? were you dead when you made this comment?

  • The original design for the Golden Gate Bridge included a fence, but it was not constructed.

  • yeahhhh aussie!

  • how can u survive that!

  • hey,,,,,,, wait a minute, he was supposed to die,,

  • I wish you would step back from that ledge my friend...........

  • lol so gay

  • shit he should ov been like 5 mins earlier ... woul dov been good to see him jump.. lol

  • Your an asshole, he could have (and probably did) die.

    prick.

  • im shakin like a fuckin leaf...foreigners are awesome

  • A lot of people go there to commit suicide they jump off the bridge....I guess he failed to kill himself....you know you are a failure at life when you fail to kill yourself ....

  • i saw a documentary about this, that sea lion under him was keeping him afloat in the water, god bless animals

  • @DRUNKCANADIAN Douche

  • CANNONBALL!

    It's funny when the person trying to kill themselves dramatically fails miserably in a public... I wonder if he tried again because of embarrassment, or has reconsidered being that he failed so badly. It would have been traumatizing if he had been successful...

  • when the world tilts, all the nuts roll 2 california

  • more like this is where the real savs live. Get on the CALI level bitch.

  • why does it even matter what colour shirt he was wearing?!

  • lol mabye becuase he was freaking out and just wanted to give all that he could to the police.. ?

  • I like to swim (Y)

  • fuck off fucking operator just send the fucking help i hate them so stupid

  • i agree.....man off bridge,,,,,,just send help......worry about the details later....by the time the coast guard gets there precious time would have not have been wasted and then the person drown......911 operators ask too many questions at times

  • @stubbyguy The send help enroute and ask questions while help is on the way. Nothing wrong with that. Do your research.

  • only australian tourists are noble enough to make the call.

  • my impesonation off 911 operators......uhem...

    hello how may i help you..

    A MAN JUMPED OFF THE BRIDGE...

    HE WAS WEARING A PURPLE SHIRT...

    what color was his shirt.....??

    HE WAS WEARING A PURPLE SHIRT...

    you sure it wasnt blue purple....

    NO HE WAS WEARING A PURPLE SHIRT...

  • That teen in the black sweatshirt SMILING upon hearing how the distraught man hurled himself over the bridge to commit suicide REALLY annoyed me. WTF is he SMILING about? That's NOT FUNNY!!! Talk about shadenfreud.

  • well it is kinda funney but if he had of died then shit that wud be terrible

  • why did you say 1300 a year jump and die on the golden gate bridge? because it is actually only like 2 a month for around 24 a year so you are waaaaayyyyyy off.

  • See if it was me, I would have drowned

  • You had to tell the people on the other end of 911 that the guy was wearing a purple shirt about five times!

  • is he wearing a purple shirt? lol

  • "he's lucky to be alive". very ironic statement. I can only imagine the emotional pain a person must be in to get to the point where its not worth living anymore

  • nice water bottle

  • Let's hope this guy gets the help he needs (counselling, etc. ) after this attempt at ending his life. It is sad to hear of people wanting to end their lives.

  • its kinda their own decision.

  • im shakin like a fuckin leaf lol

  • this phenomenon has always fascinated me. i wouldn't be surprised if someone jumped off of the other side while all this was going on. people act so surprised by this but suicidal people jump off that bridge almost every month apparently. i guess it's not every day you see someone try to kill themselves

  • FAIL!!!

  • People survive the jump.

  • poor guy, couldn't even killing him self rite. good test though, you live, you get to say you jumped off the golden gate bridge, you die, one less thing to worry about.

  • go look for the original so you can see it

  • fail

  • yea, i understand what happen, i know this person, he lost his job by coming home for a vist to his wife because her father died and the company would not let him work because he marked the wrong box on the form by mistake, they would not hire him back because what was on paper !!! this was a overseas company contractor, they do not care for people only money for the company, its must look right on paper !!!!!!

  • Hi! I was reading on wiki. and there are 18 people that have survived the jump. I read that one actually jumped feet first, got in the water and swam to shore, and drove himself to the hospital. (I know, I kind of made a face there too.) You can read it if you want.

  • @ashwinterx where was that? i know people have survived, but drove themselves to hospital, can you give me their name or link?

  • Dickhead.

  • hey idiot people SURVIVE the jumps and he prob did break a leg or 2

  • wait a second...lemme get this straight....this dude jumped off the fucking bridge, hit a steel bar and tumbled into the fuckin water and survived? damn how the fuck do u do somthing like that and live to tell the fuckin story? damn man, somebody up in heaven must like him

  • You are wrong dear friend. The justice department in heaven did not like his credit history and so he was kicked back. Now he can improve his credit score. In heaven no one would have helped him anyway. Here at least Obama will bail him out. BTW hell has a vacancy and they are preparing a grand welcome for Dick Cheney.

  • hahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!! :)

  • lol

    this is funny

    because he came there to suicide and it didnt turn out good now hes going to jail lmao...

  • he should have done a flip

  • weird, he almost looks like he's swimming around like nothings wrong. i thought you were supposed to die pretty quickly.

  • "ooo...I'm shaking likea fucking leaf"

    WTF does that mean?

  • That's a plastic bag.

  • If you really got some balls, you would do it but naked, on film, and do a backflip on the way down!

  • i hate cops. they ALWAYS interfere in things that don't concern them.

  • you are an idiot! that was probably the stupidest comment ive ever read!!!! RETARD!!!!

  • You guys are are all fucking retards! read the description on the video.!

    Mohod2012 its on a saturday u retard learn how to read! the last i checked people dont have work on saturdays dumbass!

  • So no one works on a Saturday? Must be nice to be unemployed.

  • wat r u fuckin delerious people would be glad to have your job than most people work on weekands

  • To bad he did`nt drown or get eaten by a shark for wasting the tax payers money.

  • It's kinda funny when the guy is telling the police the distances in Meters, when most police don't know what that is, in America i mean.

  • To work I said. Come on, hop to it. You can watch it on You Tube when you get home.

  • unfortunately tons of people in america are losing there jobs, so they probably don't have jobs to go to.

    In fact they are probably on the bridge contemplating suicide themselves, when "oh Shit" someone did it before they could. Oh well, there's always tomorrow.

  • Suicide is serious people. It's not funny. These people have serious mental problems. They don't go to prison if and when they survive they go to psychiatric wards. You are all so heartless.
