Man gets pushed off a bridge

Friday, May 29th, 2009

A man in China was threatening to jump of a bridge and commit suicide. Apparently lots of people recently have been jumping off the bridge recently.

Anyway, this man was on the bridge for 5 hours and causing massive traffic jams. A passer by came up to him and pushed him off. It all sounded very dramatic (and funny) when I first heard but I have since seen the video and its not what I had pictured in my head.

The man was on the bridge sitting on part of the structure and then the passer by climbed up as well. He appeared to be talking to him and calming him down and then he pushed him off the bridge. The man landed on a partly inflated giant air cushion. He suffered arm and back injuries.
