    It's not the fall that will kill you, it's the sudden stop at the end. I wonder what was wrong with the guy that jumped. I doubt he did it as a dare.

    Well, the guy was definitely serious about killing himself. It almost sounds like he jumped purposely at the time the semi would be passing under the bridge.

    If you wanna die, do it. Just don't endanger innocent people!

    If someone blames that on the driver, they need to be slapped.
