    Railings/barriers etc encourage people to sit on them so could actually mean more people falling in rather than less.

    I'd imagine the number of people who have fallen in over the years is tiny really, unfortunately it's intentional almost if not 100% of the time.

    Great idea to stop accidents but I doubt it'd stop suicides.

    There aren't exactly stats available on accidents vs. intentional but hopefully the powers that be would use more than hearsay in deciding whether to put up barriers are not.

    IMO stopping even one accidental death is surely worth it, and I'd imagine there's a far cry from 100% of these deaths being intentional.

    I'd be so put off if there were random dudes stood outside taking pictures of me leaving and exiting a jax.

    IF It saves the life of one young fella isn't it worth it

    Not if they're designed to stop sitting - ie leaning inwards.

    Also I can assure you it's not 100% intentional. Can name one lad who went in after he was on a bender. And we all heard about the taxi-man who ran away from the guards.
