The Golden Gate Bridge is the most popular place to commit suicide in the entire world. The deck is approximately 245 feet above the water. After a fall of approximately four seconds, jumpers hit the water at some 76 miles per hour. At such a speed water has been determined to take on properties similar to concrete.Because of this, most jumpers die on their immediate contact with the water. The few who survive the initial impact generally drown or die ofhypothermia in the cold water.
