Went to Akron Falls County Park last night. Pretty fun place, jumped off a few times, then the cops came and kicked us out, but he was fairly cool. There were some real fat girls there. There was also someone who mentioned JEG. ---

It was very close to the rock wall at the top. It was about the highest spot to jump from, unless you climbed a tree. ---

If you assume the GI bridge is 150 feet high you hit the water at 67 mph. Funny the stories you guys believe. ---

Yeah, I believe you can jump from niagara bridges without dying. But the odds aren’t in your favor, especially with all the weird currents in the river. So I don’t believe everyone saying “Oh yeah my uncle’s friend’s brother’s dog’s groomer’s nephew jumps off it all the time.” ---

Oh wait.

I used to jump the swing bridge (mentioned earlier) near the canal by Smith Boys. It was fun except the current pulls you along pretty rapidly. ---

Just for the record, the Peace Bridge vertical clearance is 100 feet. 200 feet is the horizontal clearance. The South GI Bridge is charted as having 99 feet vertical fwiw. ---
