Call It “jump Burnside” She Said

Portland | Hank Stram

Walking across the Burnside bridge at 8:30 pm I strolled into a rare and dangerous scenario. As I made my way over the bridge I noticed this congregation by the edge of the bridge. Then I noticed two men shirtless sitting on the ledge of the bridge. Then I watched them both JUMP INTO THE RIVER!!

< p>So it happens that these two guys, who’s names I never got, had just got out of rehab and as a “mission accomplished” moment they’d planned on jumping into the Willamette River.

Apparently a few years ago the brother of the ex-girlfriend of my girlfriend broke both his ankles from the same jump. So don’t rule out the possibility of having your head smack into the water and have your face ripped off your skull if you have the balls to do this.
