Suicidalabsprung von der Kleinebelts-Br�cke

Abstract

Some famous towers, mountains and bridges appear to be favourite places for suicidal jumping (thantopedamy). This is to a small degree the case even with the Danish “Lillebaelt-bridge”. One such case, which displayed peculiar circumstances, is reported, and a total of 11 cases, including three instances of survival, are mentioned in tables. Psychological contagious mechanisms are considered important in the choice of this suicidal method.
