The four-second fall from the Golden Gate Bridge sends a person plunging 245 feet (75 m) at 75 miles per hour (121 km/h) to hit the waters of the San Francisco Bay ``with the force of a speeding truck meeting a concrete building.'' Jumping off the bridge holds a 98 percent fatality rate; some die instantly from internal injuries, while others drown or die of hypothermia. In his article for The New Yorker, Tad Friend wrote, ``Survivors often regret their decision in midair, if not before,'' supported by survivor Ken Baldwin explaining, ``I instantly realized that everything in my life that I'd thought was unfixable was totally fixable--except for having just jumped.''
