bridge jumping
Leap from overpass
Bridge jumping is leaping from a bridge into water below, done recreationally or as an extreme sport.
The practice ranges from casual summer fun at low bridges over swimming holes to organized events at towering spans requiring technical skill.
Kids have been bridge jumping at that spot for generations.
The phrase also appears in warnings about peer pressure: If your friends jumped off a bridge, would you?
