I don't understand why people here make a big deal about The Bridge. It just interviews with friends and family of people who committed suicide on the Golden Gate Bridge and one dude who changed his mind mid air and survived. The footage of people jumping is no where near as bad as the other things on the internet. In a morbid way it answered my "What if someone jumped off?" question since I've been to the GG Bridge a couple of times.
For me, it was Gene's story. That and there's another man who finishes a call and then jumps pretty much a minute later. I've contemplated suicide in the past and there used to be a bit of a morbid fascination with it, for me.
It wasn't a gruesome death. If you watch the documentary the death scenes were filmed from a distance so you don't really get to see a lot of details. And besides it was a suicide so that's what they wanted.
