<p>To clear the story up the death last year was an accident, not suicide. The student’s name was Dan Pirfo, he was trying to get back to his dorm after a party, and tried to take a shortcut by hopping a fence.</p>
<p>Very sad, but not suicide.</p>
<p>So for at least two years there have been no suicides.</p>
<p>And yes, cornell has a lot of high bridges. Yes, there are railings. The bridges have great views of scenic waterfalls and gorges. They have higher railings on the suspension bridge, but it obstructs the view somewhat. You would have to physically climb the rails or jump over them. . .to accidentally fall in, even while intoxicated, would be pretty unlikely without physically climbing over them.</p>
