A person sits on a ledge reportedly for up to three hours before jumping. (New York.) She was recovering from anaesthetic after a facelift. What can we do to prevent it happening again?
Please can a bright person in a school or 6th form college devise a large butterfly net or similar device. How about some net swung from a helicopter to scoop to safety a person dangling on a ledge. Or suspend a hammock underneath the ledge to catch them. Raise the net to just underneath them.
In addition build or insert a safety device like a net balcony. I agree we need escapes, but just a fire escape, under all escape windows and rooftops.
What can you say to talk somebody down? Jonny Benjamin was talked down by somebody (Neil Laybourn) who started by asking why he was on the Waterloo Bridge, London, and just got a conversation going. But the pivotal phrases were, "You can get through this,' and 'Things will get better'. This happened in 2008. In 2014, six years later, Jonny is still alive and started a twitter hunt and found the person who had saved him.
