DO NOT DIVE!!
On 6-22-08 there was a fatality at this locatoin.
Apparently this was the result of diving in head first. Be advised the distance from the top of the bridge to the water is approx. 50 - 60 feet. -- this is more then enough distance to cause head / neck injury even if diving in deep enough water. DO NOT DIVE. DO NOT even think about it. Be Smart! & Be careful.
