Why bother?

Those tall buildings are private property with security, locked doors and cameras.

I'm pretty sure that if you showed the security guards some of your posts
on lit they would unlock doors and put you on the express elevator to
the top floor.
 
Explain something, perpetual pessimists.

If the net will just make people determined to commit suicide go find other more easier and accessible venues to go kill themselves, such as jumping off San Fran's numerous skyscrapers (which are apparently wide open for doing so) or hurling themselves in front of one of their scenic cable cars, then why would they go through all that trouble to jump into an awaiting net just to exert themselves further in trying to climb over it?

Isn't the point of suicide to make one's death easy so you don't have to think about it?

Isn't the point of jumping off a bridge in one fell swoop to kill yourself the very fucking point?

What, are all the people jumping going to possess American Gladiator-type physiques used to running Tough Mudder obstacle courses?

Of course not. The point of jumping off the Golden Gate Bridge is Drama.

Well.... maybe the scenery is nice too.

It is far from easy its a bit of a hike to get to a point suitably dramatic.

Even with a=32ft/sec2 it is still a bit of time to think about it.
 
Here you're a teacher, one of these four will do the job:

(1) s = .5(u + v)t
(2) v = u + at
(3) s = ut + .5a(t^2)
(4) v^2 = u^2 + 2as

where: s = distance traveled
u = initial velocity (speed)
t = time
a = acceleration
v = final velocity (speed)

Lord, I heard that. I had to put him on Iggy. Playing mental gymnasium with a Spidy train of thought that mimicks a high velocity Wham-O Super ball in a boxcar, was a bit too much.:D

Ive never engineered a train, so I have no idea how quickly you can stop a rail car. Since you seem hung up on the trains I assumed the despondent were driving to Sacramento to hurl themselves in front of rail cars.

Since you intimated that brakes on the rail cars would prevent untimely deaths if someone chose to jump in front of one, I figured you knew something about how quickly they stop.

As far as boats, it is mostly surface tension. The displaced water wants to require the space. This causes a lot more friction then you would think since water feels so slippery. Mostly you plan ahead. At low speed you can in some instances revers thrust or counter-rotate the screws.

So, how DO you keep them from jumping out of the nets?

#ascriptionagain
 
What do they call those things you hook box-cars up to in order to make them move?

So now you're comparing the stopping distance of one street car compared to an entire freight train.

Silly me for ever calling you a moron!

Of course you are! After all, it's only other peoples money! Even if we had an extra $70+ million, seems it might be more use full in mental health services and suicide crisis lines, but what the hell, it Might work!

This makes more sense than spending 76 million to send someone to a different place to kill themselves. It is like putting every officer on one stretch of road to prevent speeding. They will then speed on all the other roads. If someone wishes to kill them self, this 76 million is not going to stop them.

We've been discussing that, assuming you're right, where would they go?

Perfect win-win solution for us all:

If people will just kill themselves anyway no matter what, why won't conservatives in government sign a Suicide Booth Bill? We wouldn't have to waste money on stupid fish nets on our bridges with these.

But you could beat it with a quarter on a string.

A better solution for you would be to check the dust-bins at car-wash vacuums for a quarter.

Strings attached to a coin: This never really worked after about 1960. There is
something called a coin mech in every coin-op machine. This is the device that
checks the coin for diameter, weight, thickness, and composition before allowing
it to pass the switch that triggers whatever the machine does. A string attached
to a coin would not allow it to travel at a sufficient speed to get past the
cradle, let alone the three turnarounds. And if that wasn't enough, the end of
the mech has a little lever which maintains only one-way movement.
 
No, you really don't know what you're talking about.

It was an inside joke that you didn't get and wasn't addressed to you.

that's curious...

Good things brakes were invented since, huh?

A serious accident happened at Tennallytown about 7 o’clock yesterday evening. Car No. 9, of the Georgetown and Tennallytown Electric Railroad ran over Levin Ward, a soldier, about sixty-five years of age, who is a resident of that suburb. The accident happened about 100 feet from Grant road, toward Washington. The car was bowling along at a good rate of speed, when the motorman saw a many lying on the track. His body was partly hidden in the tall grass growing by the side of the track, but both his legs projected over the rails. An effort was made to stop the car, but it was too late, and the car passed over the man’s legs just above the ankles, badly mutilating and crushing them. The injured man was recognized by some one on the car, and after a hurried consultation with Dr. Slaymaker, of Tennallytown, who administer [sic] stimulants, it was decided to bring Ward to the city on the same car that struck him. A telephone message was sent in to the Seventh Precinct station asking the officers to have the patrol wagon ready to meet the car, and within a very short time of the accident occurred, the victim was under treatment at the Emergency Hospital. After consultation it was decided that neither limb could be saved, and Dr. Van Rensselaer amputated both legs just above the ankles. It is not thought that Ward can survive the shock to his system on account of his advanced age. At a late hour last night he was resting easy. - See more at: http://ghostsofdc.org/2014/01/30/white-house-gardener-run-cursed-streetcar-tennallytown/#sthash.8yNc0bQO.dpuf"]A serious accident happened at Tennallytown about 7 o’clock yesterday evening.
