If you were on a bridge with the intention of jumping and a random member of the public asked what you were doing, then offered to jump with you - would you agree?
(This did actually happen to me!)
I would take his/her hand and say let's go!
(In reality I'd no doubt be totally taken aback and refuse, but I'd like to cultivate more broadminded reflexes.)
Would you let yourself fall through thin ice on a river and get swept away in the freezing current?
