(03-10) 20:25 PST SAN FRANCISCO -- A 17-year-old boy on a field trip with his Sonoma County high school class leaped from the Golden Gate Bridge on Thursday, but survived and was able to swim to shore with a surfer who went out to rescue him, authorities said.
The boy is a junior at Windsor High School whom officials did not identify because of his age. Some students said he might have leaped to impress his classmates, but for now the California Highway Patrol is investigating the matter as an attempted suicide, said CHP Officer Chris Rardin.
The boy jumped at 11:15 a.m. from the east sidewalk near the south tower, the CHP said. He was taken to San Francisco General Hospital, where he was expected to survive.
Some witnesses said he broke his tailbone and damaged his lungs in the fall, but a Windsor Unified School District press release said he suffered no severe injuries beyond bruising and tenderness. Hospital officials said they cannot release specific information.
Frederic Lecouturier, 55, said he was surfing under the bridge when he saw the boy drop into the waves.
"I thought, 'Well, he's going to die,' and then it was a miracle when he popped up alive," said Lecouturier, of San Rafael. "I paddled out there, and he told me he jumped 'for kicks.'
"That's when I lost it and told him what he did was wrong, that life is precious, and he should not take risks like that. I mean, he's a kid, he's got his whole life ahead of him."
Lecouturier said the boy was about 5 feet tall, "built like a wrestler" and had a brown ponytail. "There was a stiff wind coming out of the south, and I think that broke his fall and helped save him," he said.
Surviving the drop was remarkable considering the spot the student leaped from is more than 200 feet off the water - and 99 percent of the estimated 1,500-plus people who have jumped from the bridge since it opened in 1937 died from the fall.
Seven people have jumped to their deaths from the bridge this year, officials estimate. Last year, the count was 32.
Golden Gate Bridge District spokeswoman Mary Currie said the number of people attempting suicide off the span has grown from about 20 a year in the early 2000s to about 30 annually in the past few years.
The district has plans to install safety nets on the bridge, but the final design is not complete and the installation is a couple of years away at best, Currie said.
Rumors tore through the student body and the common thread was that it appeared the boy jumped of his own accord and that onlookers were upset by the experience. The boy recently transferred from another school, many said.
"He did it to try to look cool," said one classmate, who did not want to be identified. "He said he'd jumped off bridges before." Another student who said he was on the scene tweeted that students tried to stop the boy before he leaped.
Rardin said the boy jumped as he was walking on the bridge with about 45 other students on a school field trip.
"I've heard a bunch of things about how this happened, but we haven't come to a conclusion yet," he said. "I do know he's very lucky to be alive."

man its like hitting concrete from that height. Hes lucky his spine broke at the tailbone and not higher up or he would have died. If that surfer wasnt there he would have died. If he had belly flopped he would have died.
He is very lucky he is not dead.

Man, I did a 65 ft jump and even that hurt pretty nicely.
I've gotta give the kid props, though. He recklessly endangered his life, but he has extreme bragging rights.

if that wasn't a suicide attempt then that kid is a complete fucking moron, that's like jumping in front of an express train thinking you will survive unhurt and be the coolest in the class. on the other hand if he was trying to kill himself i give him mad props. that would be a badass way to go, just jumping off the golden gate during a field trip in front of your classmates and the teachers responsible for your safety, its like a big "fuck you" to everyone.

It's all about intention. If he wanted to die he would of. Instead I'm sure he jumped feet first, grabbed his balls, clenched his ass and had a good ole time.

I painted the steeple on a church for $1100, took a day to do it, the guy couldnt get anyone out there to do the job and joking around asked if I'd do it, I was installing lexan over the stained glass... I told him what I'd do it for and he thought I was nuts, he called me a week later and said 'do it'
it was 150 feet up with a bosons chair and a rope around my neck in case I fell

falling into water 200 feet below at 32f/s is almost like hitting a brick wall. he must have hit some turbulent waters that made it easier to break through.. seriously lucky hes not dead, and also he should be in a mental facility because hes probably depressed and suicidal, hiding behind dangerous stunts like that with a 99% mortality rate.
