From WRAL (Raleigh)
A man who jumped off a bridge at Falls Lake is in trouble with the law.
Rescue crews searched for Lawson Kedzierski Wednesday afternoon after thinking he had drowned. He was found to be OK.
Wake County deputies cited Kedzierski for jumping off a state-maintained bridge.
Ooops.

I have noticed that, and it stinks — every single bridge in the state, even 12-foot long bridges, have that stupid sign: “No diving off bridge.”
But I WANT to!
we used to jump off an old railroad bridge at the tailwaters of the Manasquan River in NJ. Olny at high tide, but was still like 25 feet up. FUN!
