During the structures closure, the developer said it consulted with psychiatrists and suicide-prevention experts to develop a plan to prevent any future suicides.
But instead of raising the barriers as requested by the community board, Related reopened Vessel this past May with new protocols, like prohibiting solo visitors and adding more trained staff and security. The attraction also began charging $10, after being free to climb since it opened.


Maybe they should have raised the barriers instead.

That thing looks cool. But there should probably be barriers to prevent people from just leaping over

So, what's actually the point of this structure in the first place?

Just leave it as is and scrape the bodies off the ground a couple times a year when someone jumps. This thing looks cool as shit. I wanna climb it.

It is supposed to be centerpiece of a group of buildings being built that only millionaires can afford rent at. This article kinda sums up that area

So they are going to close it because of four suicides in two years? Guess we better tear down half the bridges and buildings in America.

I'm kinda thinking of those shit skyscrapers that are popping up around Central Park.
And the overall structure of Hudson Yards is part of the Skyline.
