That was horrendous - I've edited a warning into your post :shock:

We were watching them do this on Plymouth Hoe a couple of weeks ago, it was disturbing how close they were to the cliff edge but they will keep on doing it as they think they are invincible - maybe they ought to watch the video....

And I made the writing a bit bigger :?

That was not pleasant :cry:

We camped beside the Pont du Gard in the summer and there were loads of signs there telling people not to do it anywhere near the bridge or cliffs beside, but still people were doing it :roll: One day we canoed down the river under the bridge, and as we got near all the canoes were held back because an air ambulance was parked on a small beach beside the river ...... someone had jumped off but got it wrong and landed on the rocks 20' below rather than the water ....... :(
Of all the things I have ever lost, I miss my mind the most .....

Handle stressful situations like a dog - If you can't eat it or play with it, pee on it and walk away

Tombstoning is fun if you're not a muppet. Old quarries are best as they tend to have mahooosive cliff faces.

Bit daft to be doing it over a concrete bit anyway.

Nice and gruesome though. Echo what nick says "What, they hell are you?" :lol:

I feel sorry for the doctor who had to stitch him back together 8) Talk about a short straw. I bet his jaw dropped when he saw what he needed to fix :lol: He'll still be better looking than Funky though.
