Not strictly true, bridge is possible without totems (Destiny)

I've managed to get across the bridge with just two other people, and this was before we understood that the totems did anything more than kill us.

What we figured out was that standing on the pad until a second before the totems fire, hopping off, rinsing and repeating with great timing will actually slowly progress the bridge forward. Now, we had to hop on and off 5-10 times, and we failed many times, but it was possible.

The only caveat with this is that, at least when I made the run across the bridge, I got myself in the air as soon as I could make the jump to the other side, just in case the bridge fell out from under me. I do not know for sure that the bridge stayed up for as long as it would take to run across.

Still, using this method would be tedious for 2 people, and couldn't be done with one person. While the sword person runs you need someone dancing on and off the pad to keep it up long enough.

I must say that when I was told that you could simply stand under the totems to keep from dying to them, it all became a lot easier :)
