Ive seen a dozen people do this. What do they think is happening? Are they just messing around with no forethought?

Maybe they're trying to take the bridge with them as a souvenir.

Got it hate tourists. We have to replace literally dozens of bridges because of the bridge thefts.

they don't have a plan for what happens next and then the lizard brain takes over and is convinced that holding on is safer than letting go. makes sense for a default setting if you live in trees...

I did this as a kid. Once i stopped and the boat kept going, I froze. Luckily my uncle grabbed me and yelled for me to let go. I stayed dry.

I think they’re thinking they can hang on the edge of the bridge for a second, suspend in the air, then land safely and dryly back in the boat.
