Kevin Hines survived what should have killed him, and his story proves that God has a plan for every American life. In September 2000, this 19-year-old jumped off the Golden Gate Bridge after struggling with mental illness. The moment his hands left the rail, he knew he made a terrible mistake.
Hines fell 240 feet at 75 miles per hour and somehow lived through it. Only about 40 people have ever survived jumping from that bridge out of nearly 1,800 who tried. A sea lion kept him floating until the Coast Guard pulled him from the water.
This young man’s survival shows what real American grit looks like. Instead of staying a victim, Hines turned his pain into purpose. He now travels across our great nation sharing his story of hope and healing.
Hines recently appeared on Megyn Kelly’s show to talk about his new book and his fight against what he calls “brain pain.” While liberals push more government programs and endless therapy, Hines proves that personal strength and faith can overcome anything. His message reaches people that big government solutions never could.
The real tragedy here is how our culture fails young Americans struggling with mental health. Instead of teaching kids about personal responsibility and the value of life, we live in a society that often makes them feel hopeless. Hines found his way back through his own determination and the grace of God.
This story should inspire every patriot who believes in the power of the human spirit. Hines didn’t need a government handout or endless bureaucracy to save his life. He needed what every American deserves – hope, purpose, and the chance to make a difference.
His work now helps save other lives across the country through real talk and honest sharing. While politicians argue about mental health funding, Hines actually changes hearts and minds one person at a time. That’s the American way of solving problems.
Kevin Hines proves that even in our darkest moments, we can find the strength to fight back and build something beautiful. His survival story reminds us that every American life has value and purpose. Sometimes the best medicine isn’t found in Washington but in the courage of ordinary people doing extraordinary things.
