Will the nets trap people? If not, would people not just jump from the net after?

From the article:
The nets are meant to deter a person from jumping and curb the death rate of those who still do, though they will likely be badly injured.
“It’s stainless-steel wire rope netting, so it’s like jumping into a cheese grater,” Mulligan said. “It’s not soft. It’s not rubber. It doesn’t stretch.”
“We want folks to know that if you come here, it will hurt if you jump,” he added.
It goes on to say several people jumped, got caught in the net, and continued by jumping off the edge of the net.
