    		Actually, checking out that link, Jafato, that April 13th dive is from the Empire State Building, not the Eiffel Tower.

    There was a reported suicide attempt reported in February 2008: http://news.ninemsn.com.au/article.aspx?id=376783&rss=yes

    However, research did not yield any suicide attempts in April 2007. More than happy to admit if I am wrong. Apparently, safety netting has lessened the number of attempts in recent years.
