For whatever reason, people also jump from bridges.  Does that mean
all bridges have an inherently flawed design and should be abolished?

Wait, then we would only have level crossing and some people, for
whatever reason, think it is a good idea to race trains to level
crossings.  Gee, we better abolish them too since they are such a bad
design.  

Cheers,
