That's not a kill barrier. They specifically stated in the April Update last year that they added a [i]kill barrier[/i] to the top of the bridge on Skyline because it was unfair for people to go up over top of it and they didn't want that to be happening, yet it still does. That aside, it doesn't even take 4 seconds to go from one END of the bridge to the other if you sprint it. There's really no reason why it shouldn't kill you outright. I am never killed by people who jump over it. I am always killed by people who stand up there.

Out of area barriers are kill barriers. They kill you but give you a chance to not die by turning around. Destiny doesn't have kill barriers like Halo's kill-balls.

Which is why I'm complaining about it. If it's out of bounds, it's out of bounds. It's really the only thing worth complaining about because they've repeatedly shown they're not capable of handling weapon or ability balancing. I'm all for using the terrain, but if Bungie themselves think it's unfair, then it should be punished more severely than a count-down timer. And I know they can do it, there's a spot on Vertigo that kills you outright(I don't exactly remember where it is, I've never gotten nailed by it myself but my buddies jump into it in private matches every now and again), and they shortened the timers in some areas because of the people exploiting them in Trials. I'm not a bad player either. I like to think I'm average at my best in Crucible. At the least fairly competent.

My point was that that is a kill zone. It's a poorly designed one but the game doesn't have that sort of thing. Best just to hope they learned that some areas need to be instant kill zones and they put those in D2.
