I don't understand why people think they have the right to inferere with someone's decision like that. If this guy wants to kill himself that's his business. Fuck off and let him do what he wants. He's not hurting anyone else.

From what I've read of people who survive attempting suicide by jumping from San Francisco's Golden Gate Bridge, the most common thought on the way down was regret that they'd jumped.

If that guy wasn't thinking about not jumping he'd have already jumped long before the police or emergency services showed up to try and stop him.

Their memory is clouded by having survived.
