No Comment Department

NBC Bay Area: "A field trip that included a walk along the Golden Gate Bridge ended with a student jumping off the bridge Thursday morning.

The unnamed student survived and was taken to San Francisco General Hospital, where he was reportedly being treated for injuries 'including a broken tailbone and torn lung.' The boy's only complaint was soreness and some bruising.

Witnesses said surfers came to his rescue and helped him to shore.
CBS 5 reporter Joe Vazquez tweeted that the jump was not a suicide attempt, but instead was done on a dare by fellow students. Vazquez spoke to a surfer who said the classmates were cheering the boy as he jumped."

Good to know we've raised our kids to be resistant to peer pressure.

If it was a double dog dare what choice did he have?

No Jeff, it was probably the fearsome triple-dog dare.
