What ranges of heights for diving from the bridge?...
What are typical ranges of heights that develop for diving from the bridge, between the bridge and top of the water?... greater than 33 feet/10 meters ?
Deep ends
It depends on how high the water level is.
Consider that the path is about 3-8 feet above the water and the bridge is a 40' climb up from the path.
Methinks the water temperature is more to blame
You are correct, the fall itself is not deadly.
RIP
It is sad that they chose to end their life and possibly traumatize a bunch of people in the process. My condolences to their family.
