how many people have jumped off the coronado bridge
Suicide Leap Survivor Joins Small Club. The woman who survived a jump off the San Diego-Coronado Bridge this morning during a police chase is now part of a tiny and exclusive club: those who leaped and lived to tell about it. About 255 people have jumped off the bridge over the last 40 years, but only a dozen or so lived. The key to survival seems to be an immediate rescue to prevent drowning, a surprisingly common cause of death for bridge suicides.
