You can jump and survive actually. If you hit the RAILING of the bridge, rather than the flat part, you just stop, and can step off. You may have to bounce off the slanted sides of the wall first. Once you master the trick of it, it's a very handy way of getting down quickly.

My favorite way to get around Vivec quickly, and down without dieing, is to stand on the rail facing the wall and step off backward; even with a level 1 character I don't get hurt when I hit the flat walkway below.
Anyway, back to the funny. I remember the first time I found Indril (Ordinator Armor), I was so proud of stealing the gaurds armor right from their barracks that I wore the armor around Vivec not knowing then how they would react. The first Ordinator I talked to was in a shop, and he just suddenly yelled at me and attacked; not knowing what his problem was I fled and took off the armor. To my dismay Ordinators seem to have telepathy or walky-talkies cause they all knew what I had done and wanted me dead, badly.
I swear it seemed like every Ordinator in Vivec had diserted his post to chase me, no building was safe (I'm sure every other thief in the city was loving this mass gaurd distraction and profiting graetly); finally, let with no other means of escape, I dove from a bridge into the water. I glansed backwards as I swam to freedom, and lo to my horror saw Ordinators falling into the water after me!
I don't know if it was a glitch or what but it scared me sensless. Dispite these horrors, however, Ordinators are the greatest, and I long to be one.
