And some history:
Irving Morrow was of short stature and wanted to see over the edge. What was the cost for his change?
Quote:In his original design for the Golden Gate Bridge, engineer Joseph Strauss included a structure to deter suicide. He specified a safety railing of five feet six inches, capped in a manner difficult for any climber to grasp. Strauss advertised the Bridge through the press as practically suicide-proof. Architect Irving Morrow changed that design, and specified a lower railing.Ref: http://www.bridgerail.org/the-issue-a-th...action-why

Quote:Within weeks of the 1937 opening, the Golden Gate Bridge witnessed its first suicide. In early 1939, with the Bridge open only 18 months, the suicide count reached 11 and the California Highway Patrol began to express its concern publicly.
