Suicides at San Francisco's Golden Gate Bridge have dramatically declined since officials installed a huge $400 million safety feature described as a 'cheese grater' earlier this year.
A 20-foot-wide stainless steel mesh now lines both sides of the 2.7-kilometer bridge as both a deterrence for would-be jumpers, and as a literal safety net.
Since construction of the lifesaving barrier was completed on January 1 2024, there have only been three confirmed suicides - compared with the estimated 15 to 20 during the same period pre-net - a decrease of 83 percent.
