    C'mon, it's the Vista bridge for jumping, and always has been.

    I always wonder, if and when the Blazers win the NBA championship, I can see a bunch of drunk blazer fans just jumping into the Willamette. God, that would be fun.

    You know I fuck around on here as much as the next guy, but this is kinda not cool. At least in my eyes. WHen I was in middle school, our next door neighbor jumped off the Fremont bridge and killed her self.

    I actually do not know because I do not live in Portland and do not know where the Hawthrone is. I suppose there is a chance you could knock yourself out and die, or it be really rough currents during a storm. Of course the knocked out drowning would probably be far less painful.

    I think there's a certain height that when you land, landing on water is like landing on cement?

    The Hawthorne just seems low-ish but heights are deceiving.....i suppose.

    I wonder how deep that river is......

    It has more to due with a combination of height and speed of your body impacting the water, I believe.
