Stainless-steel netting costing up to $50 million will be placed beneath the Golden Gate Bridge to catch would-be suicide jumpers, San Francisco officials decided Friday.











What exactly will stop people from crawling out to the edge of the net and jumping?

IMO spend the money on people to patrol the bridge to try and stop people. $50 million will buy a lot of security guards
