I worked at the Disneyland Hotel for 17 years and unfortunately we had jumpers every couple years.   It is usually over the holidays and IIRC many were upset about family problems and maybe seeing all of the families brought this to there minds.  I believe they were mostly or all men.  Many were there for conventions not to go to Disneyland.
