Incase Nick needs instructions on how to actually jump and perhaps survive to get the attention I found the instructions on how to jump off a bridge from The Worst Case Scenario Survival Handbook:
"HOW TO JUMP
1. Jump feet first.
2. Keep your body completely vertical.
3. Squeeze your feet together.
4. Enter the water feet first, and clench your buttocks together. If you do not, water may rush in and cause severe internal damage.
5. Protect your crotch area by covering it with your hands.
6. Immediately after you hit the water, spread your arms and legs wide and move them back and forth to generate resistance, which will slow your plunge to the bottom. Always assume the water is not deep enough to keep you from hitting bottom.
BE AWARE
1. Hitting the water as described above could save your life, although it may break your legs.
2. If your body is not straight, you can break your back on entry. Keep yourself vertical until you hit the water.
3. Don't even think about going in headfirst unless you are absolutely sure that the water is at least twenty feet deep. If your legs hit the bottom, they will break. If your head hits, your skull will break."
Number 4 was enough to convince me the attempt probably isn't worth it.
