This pledge not to kill oneself is as useless as the fine for jumping off the edge of the Niagara Falls.

This pledge not to kill oneself is as useless as the fine for jumping off the edge of the Niagara Falls.
- jarek 16y agoOff the original topic, but (ex-) Niagara local here: the fine isn't entirely useless. Some people survive the fall, so when one is noticed, you have to mobilize a rescue team to search for a potential survivor. More importantly, I am under the impression the fine is meant to deter (and recoup the expenses on) daredevils more than suicidal people; people going over in barrels and so on.
