@giladpellaeon2223 Actually it makes less sense if this is a woman. That kind of stupidity is more typical for our gender, especially if this stupidity was boosted by some chemical agent. But to admit this one needs to be a man, not a boy.
I do not think the person was even aware of where they were or what was happening...probably blacked out from excessive amounts of alcohol. She didn't look like she was attempting to ramp it, she turned sideways at the last moment and went right end...didn't even attempt to bail out/jump off the bike.
I feel bad for her about the emotional state of mind she was in, which caused her to be so intoxicated on a bike and trying to do what she tried to do.
Situational awareness refers to be prepared for the unexpected by being aware of things around you that most people might normally not be aware of. This is more like being completely brain dead however because this person did not even notice the flashing red lights and the huge raised bridge and resultant road gap that was right in front of her face. That being said it's also kind of bizarre that it took onlookers more than a full minute to make up their minds to help this person. They should have been hustling because if the bridge had closed with the rider still in there there would have been a real gory mess to clean up

Engineer 1: do you think a bunch of red and white bars with flashing lights are enough of a warning for people? Engineer 2: probably overkill Person on Bike: oh cool an obstacle course.
I can't judge her. One year, I was going through a severe depression and walked right into a closed Target store. At that time, every moment of living felt like Hell, and it took a massive amount of will power just to put one foot in front of the other, so pushing the electronically activated doors open when they'd been shut off was nothing (assumed the sensor was broken). The look on one employee's face was priceless, and seemed to say, "How the 🤬 did you get in here?!?"
that's hilarious. one time, i think it was the first time i went to a Red Robin restaraunt to eat, i walked over to the wrong side of the counter and the employees were all like wtf? I didn't see any sign saying employees only, there wasn't a gate or anything to keep customers out... i thought like their food prep station was a buffet or something. I was around 30 years old at the time and felt so stupid.

This man jumping down into the gap without hesitation to help and save is a real heroe in my eyes. He did not know for sure if the operator of the bridge knew that this accident happened and if he would keep the brige up and he is safe. Great and brave reaction. A real heroe!!
@@fredmercury1314 It's true that it took a shocking long time until anyone went to help this Woman. I rather ment when this man arrived at the scene of the accident and saw that she was sticking there he jumped without further hesitation down to her. If the bridge would have moved down in this moments it might have been very dangerous for both.
@steven401ytx the control tower is the other side of the water gap on RHS ,the video you see was from the bridge CCTV the bridge operator was the wrong side of the water to assist, he had already contacted emergency services as per protocol.
People who say that they wouldn’t have helped her don’t realize that whether you help someone isn’t a reflection of that person’s unworthiness but a reflection of your willingness to allow evil to happen.
But she was willing to be an idiot & create this whole drama by not abiding by the laws & waiting until the bridge came back down to cross. Sounds like SHE'S the evil one for creating this whole mess & putting everyone through this bullshit... 🙄
@@brandoniadance9355 you don’t know that info ahead of time. You could be seeing someone who was experiencing a stroke. Choosing not to help is your failing.

Are you seriously thinking about the bridge at a time like this? It could’ve been a tragedy, what is wrong with you? You didn’t even think about the bicycle, did you? Heartless monster!
I d g a f unless they all told the bridge operator amd knew beyond a shadow of a doubt they are no heros they are even more foolish then the fool himself this is sad and atoopid all the way around but rhen I guess I hope that's why they took so long to try and get the guy to male sure the brjge operator knew
When the bridge started to drop for a brief moment my heart skipped a beat, I had no idea if the bridge is automatic of if the gatekeepers building was manned it was on the wrong side to have any chance to see that there was a problem, thank our lucky stars there was a safety system that prevented it from closing on the brave rescuers that jumped into the bridge mechanism to save her.
A bridgetender manned this bridge, and cameras were on in the operator's house. The north leaf started going down because this bridge had a system where one span had to go down before the other. At the time of its lowering the operator was already aware of the situation, but just wanted to get that ready for when the time came.

@@jamesw.6931I've seen blackout drunks solve difficult critical thinking skills and operate complicated machinery. I don't think you've experienced it.
@jamesw.6931: Many years ago - my drinking devolved into blackout drinking. No one knew that I was in a blackout and I saw myself on video on occasion and appeared “normal”. Just saying. (been sober for a few decades now)
I was a bridge tender in 1986 in Miami. I thought it was the coolest job in the world. I am an avid boater, and I was able to talk to my friends on the VHF Marine radio. I had an idiot do the same thing. He went into the ditch, and he got his leg amputated at the pinch point between the counterbalance and the structure. I was interviewed by the NTSB, and they made me pee in a bottle. I was interviewed by the Florida Department of Law Enforcement, and they made me pee into a bottle. And then I was investigated also by us dot and they made me pee into a bottle. It was a good thing that I didn't use drugs. I quit on the spot. it was the worst thing I ever did in my life. That moron sued the state and he targeted me individually. We won the case, but it took me 10 years to pay off the attorneys.
Jeff, don’t understand if a person is at work officially doing their duty how they can be sued as an individual? Or if by some quirk of the US legal system they can be that their legal expenses aren’t indemnified by their employer or an allowance is paid to buy legal defence insurance. Otherwise it would make any job where there is a possible risk of injury to customer/public very unattractive to accept.
So, she fell into the gap and just decided to stay there. Even after they rescued her she just sat there clueless. She probably couldn’t understand what was happening. Wow
You don't need to take responsibility to help. Their decision is still dumb. But if you stand by and watch someone get crushed, you are the POS in the scenario
It's amazing the number of people who don't understand the simple step of calling 911 first. If a bunch of idiots run onto the bridge without taking that step, they could all be killed when the bridge closes. That just increases the number of victims.
Woman on bike falls into open span on Menasha bridge Excerpt: Authorities say the Menasha woman was riding her bike as the bridge was opening. Witnesses say the woman was going fast and rode in between and past the crossing gates. “My husband had yelled out the window, 'You better slow down, the bridge is open!' and she just didn't slow down," said Amber Minton, a driver who was stopped at the bridge at the time of the incident. Although they have no medical records yet to support it, police believe alcohol may have played a role in the incident, because the woman admitted to having been drinking. According to police, the woman's bicycle kept her from falling through and into the river. They say it may have been what saved her life.
If she fell through to the river and knew how to swim, I don't see there being a problem other than her losing her bicycle but maybe being hit by a passing boat, but who knows.
@@randobad she was drunk. Do you see what state she was in when they pulled her out? She could barely sit up. The current would have draged her along leaving her to loose all remaining strengh to become a dead body found at some shore the next day, or never found again.

Around here bicyclists believe that no traffic or pedestrian law applies to them. Blow stop signs and red lights, block traffic, turn left across 5 lanes from the right turn only lane...
@@johnpublic6582 maybe they never took driver's licence. I mean since school don't teach traffic law, if someone has never took a driver's licence, they wouldn't have learned the law.
@@johnpublic6582 Yeah we have similar problems with some cyclists here in the UK. It seems that certain cyclists believe that they can ignore the "rules of the road" - which are there for our safety. It's definitely due to a lack of intelligence in my opinion.
@@johnpublic6582 It's criminal there are 5 lanes needed to be crossed to align with a left turn. Also shared roads where velocity differs well over 30 mph. As for the blocking of traffic, I do that too, though only if there is no room to safely pass (if they can touch the wing mirror by just stretching an arm, the driver is way too close). Because a disappointingly amount of motorists never look after the vulnerable. Tunnel vision from start to destination. Traffic would be a lot better if everyone cooperated with patience and the mind for safety of others as much as their own. (Goes for cyclists and pedestrians too.)
The women came and watched. It was the men who acted. The women probably told them what to do. Hysterically and incorrectly. But then wimmens was strong. And independent. And don’t need no man. Just like the rider.
Let me guess the attorney representing their client would claim, the flashing lights and crossing gates, didn't completely "block" the entire road way, as such she was confused as if the road was truly closed??
Would be easy case for prosecution then. Laws state vehicles must come to complete stop for flashing red lights and sold red lights on crossing arms. Law also states that bicycles need to ride on the right most half of the roadway as practicable. She was over the center of the roadway in on coming lanes. Bicycles count as vehicles. She was also intoxicated, so a DUI/OWI would be a charge as well and wouldn’t look good. So if she had a lawyer and they tried that didn’t know the road was closed excuse, they would get laughed out of the courtroom, since she did a minimum of three illegal things to get to the point she was even at.
They had to get confirmation that the bridge operators knew to keep the bridge open until the situation was resolved. Otherwise, they could be killed trying to help.
For real, I feel like you could go help and not really worry about the bridge slowly closing back down…youd notice it starting and atleast save yourself
They just made it legal in MN last year that bicycles don't have to stop for stop signs 🤦♂️ just another "great thing" that gov. Timmy W signed into law 🙆♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️... like you're saying they don't follow traffic laws in the first place, and he just gave them justification and entitlement 🤦♂️
Laws have nothing to do with the bikers that ignore them 😆 in Oregon you can turn right on red lights, that doesn't mean people do so without looking. Same with biking through a stop sign. If someone shows no regard for danger while using such a vulnerable vehicle they're clearly half asleep
I am a bit surprised the people that saw it waited over a minute to try to help and even then waited until finally a guy runs over. It wasn't a train track, they were in no danger by going over to see what the situation was. Then when one guy runs over and jumps into the gap then everyone else decides they will go over to try to help.
They probably immediately called 911 to make sure the bridge staff knew the situation before getting on the bridge. Without doing this first, they couldn't know for certain that the bridge wasn't going to close any second with them in the crack. The first rule of first aid is *don't create new victims.*
@@astrinymris9953 i was thinking the same thing as OP and had the same thought for the reason as you. I at least hope they were calling 911. That guy who jumped in the gap immediately made me super nervous for his safety, and i was so worried the bridge would close on him suddenly. So i really hope he confirmed the bridge wouldn't move before he jumped down there or else that was crazy dangerous even if it was commendable to be the first person to really take such proactive action
even if she had gotten over that massive crack the bridge was already too steep to ever have a chance to getting the speed needed to get over the gap there is no point in my life I'd have managed that with the speed I could build on flat ground let alone her
This is a fascinating view of humans acting in a crisis, and how it just takes one person to galvanize people into action. It takes forever before someone, the guy in red, to cross the barrier and he's uncertain what to do. It's the second guy running straight to her that unfreezes everyone. He's the true hero.
Totally agree, just like to add: Some people can be fearsome of what they are going to experience that may affect them for a very long time, or maybe, in complete disbelief of what has just happened.
"Someone in their car noticed her fall in, and immediately got out to save her" It was almost a full minute before orange shirt guy showed and proceeded to hang out near the barricade. Actually do something guy shows up and runs past the barricade to the bridge and lifts the woman onto the road. Orange shirt guy decides he needs to do something and heroically moves the bike to safety.
No kidding. Get her out of there quick and get the hell out of that gap that’s going to close soon 😬 I don’t know if there’s an emergency shut off button like at gas stations, but if not getting in there for more than a second or two is crazy
I kept asking "How come one of you don't run up to the top of the bridge and signal the operator to leave the bridge up?". Situational awareness, people...
I’m gonna guess she was somehow wedged in there or stuck in a position where she couldn’t just be pulled out instantaneously, I mean come on bro, use some common sense

I can't judge her. One year, I was going through a severe depression and walked right into a closed Target store. At that time, every moment of living felt like Hell, and it took a massive amount of will power just to put one foot in front of the other, so pushing the electronically activated doors open when they'd been shut off was nothing (assumed the sensor was broken). The look on one employee's face was priceless, and seemed to say, "How the 🤬 did you get in here?!?"
that's hilarious. one time, i think it was the first time i went to a Red Robin restaraunt to eat, i walked over to the wrong side of the counter and the employees were all like wtf? I didn't see any sign saying employees only, there wasn't a gate or anything to keep customers out... i thought like their food prep station was a buffet or something. I was around 30 years old at the time and felt so stupid.

A bridgetender manned this bridge, and cameras were on in the operator's house. The north leaf started going down because this bridge had a system where one span had to go down before the other.

I was interviewed by the NTSB, and they made me pee in a bottle. I was interviewed by the Florida Department of Law Enforcement, and they made me pee into a bottle. And then I was investigated also by us dot and they made me pee into a bottle. It was a good thing that I didn't use drugs. I quit on the spot. it was the worst thing I ever did in my life. That moron sued the state and he targeted me individually. We won the case, but it took me 10 years to pay off the attorneys.
Jeff, don’t understand if a person is at work officially doing their duty how they can be sued as an individual?

Woman on bike falls into open span on Menasha bridge
Excerpt:
Authorities say the Menasha woman was riding her bike as the bridge was opening. Witnesses say the woman was going fast and rode in between and past the crossing gates.
“My husband had yelled out the window, 'You better slow down, the bridge is open!' and she just didn't slow down," said Amber Minton, a driver who was stopped at the bridge at the time of the incident.
Although they have no medical records yet to support it, police believe alcohol may have played a role in the incident, because the woman admitted to having been drinking.
According to police, the woman's bicycle kept her from falling through and into the river. They say it may have been what saved her life.
She definitely looked to be DUI.
If she fell through to the river and knew how to swim, I don't see there being a problem other than her losing her bicycle but maybe being hit by a passing boat, but who knows.
@@randobad she was drunk. Do you see what state she was in when they pulled her out? She could barely sit up. The current would have draged her along leaving her to loose all remaining strengh to become a dead body found at some shore the next day, or never found again.

As for the blocking of traffic, I do that too, though only if there is no room to safely pass (if they can touch the wing mirror by just stretching an arm, the driver is way too close). Because a disappointingly amount of motorists never look after the vulnerable. Tunnel vision from start to destination.
Traffic would be a lot better if everyone cooperated with patience and the mind for safety of others as much as their own. (Goes for cyclists and pedestrians too.)

Would be easy case for prosecution then. Laws state vehicles must come to complete stop for flashing red lights and sold red lights on crossing arms.
Law also states that bicycles need to ride on the right most half of the roadway as practicable. She was over the center of the roadway in on coming lanes.
Bicycles count as vehicles.
She was also intoxicated, so a DUI/OWI would be a charge as well and wouldn’t look good.
So if she had a lawyer and they tried that didn’t know the road was closed excuse, they would get laughed out of the courtroom, since she did a minimum of three illegal things to get to the point she was even at.

They probably immediately called 911 to make sure the bridge staff knew the situation before getting on the bridge.
