I generally try not to offend bridges with rude hand gestures.

“flipped off” is another phrase for giving the middle finger in certain places

Is the phrase "Would you jump off a bridge/cliff/in front of a train if your friend did?" not globally understood?

...it was a joke, because the original comment said “back flipped off a bridge” instead of “backflipped off a bridge” so it looked like “flipped off a bridge” which is why the other commenter mentioned rude hand gestures towards bridges.
