Never Jump First
Talk about a flakey friend. Ok, so I should not be making light of this topic, but when I read the story about two friends in Clearwater who made a pact to jump off of the Memorial Causeway Bridge early Sunday morning, I could not help but think that if you’re going to make a dangerous pact you better not jump first.
Two men, ages 20 and 25, were hanging out Sunday morning around 2:30 a.m when they decided that jumping from the bridge would bring them notoriety – or, on one of their words, make them “king of Clearwater.”
The man who did not jump ended up being Baker-acted (a law that allows for someone to be held for psychiatric evaluation up to 72 hours).
As of right now, a full-scale search using divers, sonar technology, and boats has not turned up any results. The jumper is still missing.
The lesson in all of this? Never jump first.
