One would guess that some will want very expensive safety netting on this bridge too?
or
Perhaps he was looking for his jet-ski, that he lost on the lower Potomac.
No need, the bridge is very low to the water.
We use to jump off that bridge all the time as teenagers. Low to the water. Not a big deal.
Make him pay for the cost to respond emergency equipment…
I hope no one suffered that needed a real emergency response due to this bridge jumping toad ..tying up responders ..
