I hope the bike’s okay.
What was that even?!
Um, the thing that came before these?

I own this on VHS, I’m watching it right now…
It’s a brave new world.
Yeah well, Martyn Ashton was a bit too brave… Broke his back, filming the second one, IIRC

I was assuming intoxication just on the basis of, what precisely did she imagine was going to happen there?
I’m reminded of one of the action scenes from Reptilicus (1961), in which a bunch of panicking Copenhageners flee a comically low-budget monster rampaging the city. I think the filmmakers just recruited some guys from a local cycling club.

You know she is going to SUE(!!!) because it is “someone’s fault” that she rode around the barriers and fell into the bridge separation! She’ll argue that there needs to be a 8 foot fence that rises to prevent rule-breakers like her. And she’ll sue for MILLIONS…and lose. -)

Cyclist tries for a Darwin Award … and fails.
I used to live in Alameda. Fun facts, several scenes from The Net were filmed there, as was the car chase scene in Matrix 2, and the ending chase in THX-1138. Also the Mythbusters filmed a bunch there.

Yeah, but it took surprisingly long for people to rush in to help. The moment someone goes down like that and isn’t crawling out as soon as possible, you know something is wrong. And there’s hardly a more dangerous place to fall; once that bridge closes, she’ll get crushed.
The only excuse for the slow response is if they were all calling 911 simultaneously.
