Jumper trampolines

 ..but with cameras.

Below some of the major jumping points (tall bank buildings; Brooklyn Bridge, Beachy Head etc), install camouflaged trampolines of a resilience appropriate to the height of the fall.

Using a light-beam, trigger an automatic camera to take snapshots of the jumper on the way down and then on the way back up. Said snapshots are printed and dispensed, free of charge.

I humbly submit that the rapid succession of emotions which such an arrangement would produce is likely to deter a significant proportion of suicides from trying again.

       Yes i like [+]. Bit like a roller coaster.   

       Incidentally, sorry i didn't spot the depression category before. I probably thought it was so unlikely to be there that i'd never find it.

       Well, if it's beneath the Brooklyn Bridge, paint it watery. If it's beneath a bank building, paint it sidewalky.   

       I think what we're talking here is an advanced trampoline d'oieul.

       You'll need some way of identifying Extreme Sports Enthusiasts - you know, the kind of people who think bungee-jumping is fun. With these people, the trampoline will be whisked away at the last possible moment, thus improving the aggregate quality of humanity's gene pool.

       I was hoping for a trampoline that somehow simulated the premise of the movie "Jumper" sigh..

       [+] purely for the "trampoline d'oieul" line.
