Burning Yo Yo woman
In the past there have been many suicides on the Clifton Suspension
bridge. There have also been at least one successful bungee jump. On 20 th January 2004 there was a slightly different
event. The trustees of the bridge affixed a barrier below the bridge to
deter people from making a mess on the road or river below when they decided to end it all.
On this occasion a young woman climbed out onto the barrier with
his bungee, affixed it and jumped. Now her bungee jump was different
as she had already soaked herself in gasoline and ignited it on the way down. It is presumed that she intended to use his plunge into the river
Avon below to extinguish the fire.
Sadly for her, her bungee was not long enough to reach the water, so
she was left emulating a kind of flaming yo yo under the bridge. This
caused alarm to many passers by.
She eventually was able to cut through her bungee with a knife and fall
into the river. She was rescued and taken to hospital. If She recovers
She may well be charged by the police and end up in court.
