Steve Brodie (December 25, 1861 – January 31, 1901) was an American from Manhattan, New York City, who on July 23, 1886, claimed to have jumped off the Brooklyn Bridge and survived. The supposed jump, of which the veracity was disputed, gave Brodie publicity, a thriving saloon and a career as a performer. Prior to this, he was penniless, having lost significant sums of money on betting and race tracks. During the 1890s, Brodie was compared to one of the best British champion divers and bridge jumpers of the era, Tommy Burns.

  • Steve Brodie (Nueva York, 25 de diciembre de 1861 - San Antonio, 31 de enero de 1901) fue un actor y empresario estadounidense.

Antes de esto, estaba en la pobreza tras haber perdido sumas significativas de dinero en las apuestas y las carreras. Su fama persistió más allá de su muerte, siendo representado en películas y dando lugar al término de jerga estadounidense "brodie" - como en "hacer un brodie" - que significaba tomar un riesgo o una oportunidad que podría ser considerada suicida.​ Durante los años 1890, Brodie fue comparado al campeón británico de clavados y saltos de puente de la época, .

Prior to this, he was penniless, having lost significant sums of money on betting and race tracks. Brodie's fame persisted long past his death, with Brodie portrayed in films and with the slang term "Brodie"—as in to "do a Brodie"—entering American vernacular, meaning to take a chance or a leap, specifically a suicidal one. During the 1890s, Brodie was compared to one of the best British champion divers and bridge jumpers of the era, Tommy Burns. (en)
