The reason flags are half mast on Sydney Harbour Bridge is most likely because someone has died. Flying flags at half mast is a form of respect for someone that has died.
Yes there were many attempted suicides on the bridge within the first 6 months of opening and a few did survive the jump. The most famous of falls from the Sydney Harbour Bridge was a worker during the construction, Vincent Kelly. He fell 50m from the road deck landed feet first only breaking three ribs.
By falling into the water and dying 9 died by that 1 fell but survived because he dropped his tool belt which broke his fall another was killed by the cement or something like that when the crain was moving stuff on the bridge the chain snapped from the heavy load the guy lost his leg and sadly it took to long to get off the bridge and the guy died i dont know what happen to the other 5
