The workers said that there are a lot more jumpers than presented by the media. I imagine it's not something people want to encourage.
I remember something in the paper when I lived in that area for several years, something about how there is at least one a day off the GG Bridge. They really do try to stop it but the people case it out and know how to get around the various deterrents.
