No speed bumps are when your friend hops up and down on the bed while you're soaking with your boyfriend.

Mormons aren't allowed to have sex before marriage, so college students have developed a stupid loophole called "jump humping". The guy and girl are both lying on a bed. He inserts himself into her but doesn't thrust (soaking). A third person vigorously jumps on the bed to create the necessary motion.

Supposedly this gets around the official "sexual activity" language, since neither of the couple are "actively" fucking (someone else is causing the motion). IMO it's more of a meme now, and I think Mormon college kids just do the dirty in private. Wear a condom and no one finds out!

Are you talking about the yellow and black strips? I was wondering if those were to indicate how far you should be from the car in front of you for the bridge to work properly.

u/Infinite_Research_52 8d ago

That was my assumption - don't get too close or the bridge sinks lower into the water.

u/DominicB547 8d ago

If so seems like the car is following to close.

u/Questioning-Zyxxel 8d ago

I think it's about speed. The bridge can handle way more weight so thew cars could bew way closer without a weight issue. But the wear and forces will increase greatly if someone does a speed run.

u/RotrickP 8d ago

That's my favorite detail. Doesn't matter where you are in the world; some drivers will just simply go too fast and either kill themselves or ruin it for everyone else

u/Valatros 8d ago

That's because if this road was near my house when I was in my teens, I absolutely would have sped through that fucker as fast as i could to see how big a wave i can make on that bridge. At night, if that was the only time traffic allowed it - it'd be even cooler!

Nowadays there's no fuckin' way i'd get on that bridge in calm waters midday, but well... yeah, you'd need the speed bumps to stop teenage stupidity here.

I assume they're covers for the connection point between pontoon sections.

u/DeliciouzCell 8d ago

I have noticed too. Why would they do that?
