RIP to everyone who died. I don't mean to be disrespectful, but when you're standing on the mast, how can you not tell that you're about to collide with the bridge?

Why not just jump into the water?

Jumping into water from roughly the height of the Brooklyn Bridge is generally what people do when they _want_ to end their own lives.
