A very lucky rescue attempt. I'm not really sure how this counts as brave, though... he was in no danger. The guy is huge, and immediately dropped his weight when he went to grab her, he wasn't going anywhere. Yes, this is a wonderful thing, but people are hyping it as something it is not, it seems.
And if I ever decide i'd like to lead some police on a high-speed chase, i'll just pretend i'm suicidal when they finally catch me, so I can get away with it like this woman did. She should be charged like any other person.

Many people can be saved. People who have simply lost hope and need to be shown that it still exists. Some people just feel that it's the only way to solve their problems. Some people are so wrought with grief that thinking about anything but an end to the pain seems ludicrous. Suicides hurt the friends and families to an incredible degree. The guilt and finger-pointing can sometimes tear entire households apart. I see exactly where you're coming from, I really do, but these people have just lost their way, and we really should try to help them find a direction...
