GTA San Andreas tech lead busts a widely believed myth, says the "Suicidal Pedestrians" are simply unaware of the water between them and their destination

A former Grand Theft Auto lead has decided to play mythbusters for a day and reveal that San Andreas' mysterious "Suicidal Pedestrians" aren't suicidal after all - they just didn't realize there was a massive body of water between them and their destination.

For years, players have theorized about the GTA San Andreas NPCs who sometimes spawn, complete whatever purpose they've been programmed for, and simply, errr, give up. The most infamous instance of this is a photographer who appears, takes some pictures of the game's lush skyline, and then peacefully walks into the ocean. (There's a whole wiki entry on the game's Suicidal Pedestrians.)
