ニューヨーク・タイムズさんのインスタグラム写真 - (ニューヨーク・タイムズInstagram)「The Golden Gate Bridge, a rare blend of form and function, stands as an engineering marvel, an emblem of Depression-era American muscle. But it has a darker legacy, too: About 2,000 people are known to have died by jumping off the bridge. The true tally is certainly higher, since not all jumps are witnessed and not all bodies are found. Such tragedies, officials hope, are mostly in the past. After decades of pleas to raise the rail, workers are nearly finished installing 3.5 miles of stainless-steel nets — a “suicide deterrent system,” officials call it — strung on both sides of the bridge, end to end. The nets, which are nearly invisible from a distance, were chosen to appease those worried about altering the bridge’s iconic look or obstructing its famous views. But the nets can be seen by anyone standing at the rail, hanging about 20 feet down and stretching about 20 feet out. They are taut, marine-grade stainless steel nets meant to withstand the Golden Gate’s combination of rain, wind, salt and fog.
