2020 - forward edit
- (“The data shows that 2020 had the lowest number of suicide deaths on the Golden Gate Bridge in the last five-plus years,” https://www.mercurynews.com/2021/04/05/report-marin-county-suicide-rate-declines/) Separate county report on deaths by suicide of just Marin residents also shows a decrease over 2019, but by a lesser amount. According to preliminary totals, 31 Marin residents died by suicide in 2020, compared to 46 the year before (note: 26 jumpers 2019).

Maintaining the file edit
For each year a line of code is needed, as <path id="yyy" d="mdd,0v-f"/> where
- yy is the year (that is just a comment)
- dd is the distance, calculated 2 × (yy - 1940); 1966 is therefore (66-40)*2=52, 2014 is (2014-1940)*2=148
- f is the number of fatalities
