So, why not just let him jump again (for the third time, no less!)???

Distraught man shot by Seattle police
KOMO-TV STAFF
Police who went to the aid of a distraught man jumping off a bridge in Seattle ended up shooting him early this morning.
It happened about 4:15 a.m. at the First Avenue South Bridge over the Duwamish River. The man's mother had reportedly called police to say he was suicidal.
Officers were trying to calm the man when they struggled and shots were fired, police spokeswoman Debra Brown said.
His wife and child were reportedly in a car on the bridge at the time.
The man, in his 20s, was taken to Harborview Medical Center with life-threatening injuries.
Brown says the man jumped off the bridge twice from a low height. After surviving the first jump, he went back and jumped again before police arrived.
