That’s a silly comment. People are constantly jumping in front of trains and iff of buildings, but no one is saying we need to get rid of those. The problem is society, and how we deal with mental health issues.
And in this case in particular, maybe the kid shouldn’t have been taken there. Either way, they will probably enclose the stairs.

”There were lots of tourists around. The kid was racing up the stairs with his younger sister and having a blast, having so much fun,’’ said a security guard at the Manhattan tourist attraction to The Post on Friday, a day after fatal jump.
“One of my colleagues told them, ‘I know it’s fun and stuff, but you are not allowed to run in the Vessel,’ and, ‘Stay with your parents.’ Somehow, when he got to Level Eight, he jumped,” the guard said of the teen from upscale Livingston, New Jersey.
Police sources said the teen had a history of depression and had attempted suicide before.
