mcrowder1978 Posted December 26, 2023 Report Share Posted December 26, 2023 I was reading a post on Reddit from a 17 year old who saw it happen. Sounds like the passenger had some sort of psychotic break. The crew members were trying to calm/control him but were unsuccessful as he was bigger and overpowered them before jumping over the railing. Sad situation to say the least. I don't know if links to reddit are allowed on here but if they are I can post it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottD Posted December 26, 2023 Report Share Posted December 26, 2023 So reports on another site from this cruise... this person jumped. The post was from an eyewitness who was in line for dinner, and a yelling, shirtless\shoeless man came running down the hall, out the doors to the outer deck and jumped right off the edge.

Gadget Hackwrench Posted December 27, 2023 Author Report Share Posted December 27, 2023 I see, so if memory serves me right this is probably located in the Windjammer buffet because the only other place to eat a meal on Vision of the Seas on that deck is Park Place in the Solarium and it's not so much a meal as snacks most of the day and that's usually when the Windjammer is closed. Most unfortunate if this source is correct. Big Tule 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrimsonCruiser Posted January 22 Report Share Posted January 22 I do hope that everyone who had to witness this incident is able to find mental peace. I cannot imagine the trauma from seeing someone take their life in front of me, especially if I was trying to stop them.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I work at a port, under a bridge... we get a few jumpers a year, luckily we usually don't see the actual jump, but yesterday happened to be looking at the river when it happened. Wasn't 100% sure it was what I thought it was ...until the coast guard and police boats were out there within minutes... it's definitely a bit of a shock once you realize what just happened.

I can't even imagine... I once THOUGHT I was going to see someone jump in front a train and just the idea of it has burned itself into my memory....I cannot imagine actually seeing someone take their own life like that...
