The electric field that would throw them back on the roof is what prevents tributes from jumping. This is probably placed so that none of the tributes can commit suicide or escape before, or during, the games. The Capitol doesn't want tributes to die before the games so they can watch them die for entertainment, or need to get another tribute last minute.

How do tributes learn the fates of other tributes?

In the Hunger Games series, tributes learn the fates of other tributes through a combination of personal observation, the Capitol's orchestrated events, and the Gamemakers' announcements. Tributes can witness the deaths of others firsthand during the Games, or they may receive information through sponsor gifts or televised broadcasts. Additionally, the Gamemakers can manipulate the environment to display the status of different tributes, such as through the cannon signaling a fallen tribute or the faces in the sky showing the fallen tributes at night.


What are Career Tributes and how are they threat?

Career tributes are tributes from Districts 1 and 2 (and 4 in the book, but not in the movie) They have trained for the games their whole lives, even though it is illegal, however they are favoured by the Capitol and so are not punished. The fact they have trained gives them the upper hand and so they usually win. They wait until they are 17 or 18 and then volunteer at the Reapings as they have a very high chance of winning the games. They are a threat to the other, less well-off tributes as they have skills that they have perfected over many years.

Law and Order SVU episode Trade with Pierson Bartlett how does it end?

The defence attorney was really the guilty one and goes to the roof of the building after Casey shows a video of her talking to the fiance. On the roof she confesses her love for the son. The son, in an atempt to stop her from jumping off said roof, moves closer to her. She then says that no one else can have him (to him) and throws them off the roof together where they end up on top of a car, dead. Hope that wasn't to confusing.
