I agree that if someone is set on killing themselves, they will find a way...usually with a gun.
To me, the issue of having a high barrier on the sides of golf cart/pedestrian/bicycle bridges...has nothing to do with stopping suicides.
It's about keeping people from throwing,
or losing, anything off of those bridges...that could affect the traffic below.
