The Nelson rock suspension foot bridge in WV. I get woozy just looking at the pictures

That's not for me.

I'd have loved it in an earlier day. Today? Not so much.

Ditto for me.

I see the hikers are using a safety harness attached to a cable. Considering the spacing of the boards, that looks like a great idea.

Jeepers, why the heck would you build it in the first place?

These West Virginians have a thing about combining adrenaline rushes and bridges. They have a whole holiday dedicated to it.
Bridge jump

My exact thought too. Today I’m older and wiser

 

[JD338]

So why would you want to jump off a perfectly good bridge?

JD338

Same reason some jump out of good airplanes I guess. Not all of us WV hillbillies jump you know Dan.

The thrill of the jump. I'm certain it is even more thrilling if you don't bother typing the rope to your ankle! Course, you only get one try in that case.

 

[Firebird]

Hard pass!

 

[hunter24605]

They used to bungee jump off the gorge bridge. My buddy said he came
Into this world because of a broke rubber, and ain’t going out for the same reason.

I used to rock climb at Seneca Rocks but have not been to Nelson.
