I'm considering jump locations and can travel essentially anywhere in the US and am wondering what factors there are to consider beyond height/landing surface. Specifically, why are there so few recorded suicides from the Royal gorge bridge as it seems like a great place? Is there too much surveillance?

There seems to be a lot of deaths at the Grand Canyon. Many spots to fall maybe. Also, there's this at Yellowstone. Death was instant: https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/us-news/mans-tragic-last-moments-filmed-24291344

Grand canyon skywalk has been used. No one would survive it. A man commit suicide there last year and another in 2019. They were quick about it. Because it's a national park they can't put up nets and barriers etc because it goes against preserving the natural state of the location. It's probably the best location for jumping because of that, and falling against rock, a person is not going to survive. The drops are enormous.
