What is the point of it?
Can women not resist a guy who acts like a
moron?
Or are crutches, wheelchairs and even coffins
the current "must have" fashion accessories?

A man has been badly injured in a

He was airlifted to Treliske hospital and

concluded he will not walk again, police

Holidaymakers saved a man who became
unconscious after "tombstoning" from a rock
20 metres into the sea.
The man, aged 26, climbed up the famous
Durdle Door rock in Dorset and egged on by
three friends jumped off on Saturday
afternoon.
The friends, two men and a woman, fled the
scene but a holidaymaker swam out to the
unconscious man and got him into an
inflatable dinghy." - BBC News
^^Nice friends heh

"A man has been killed jumping 30ft from a

coast.
The 46-year-old was pronounced dead at the
scene at 0130 BST at Berry Head, Brixham."
...A 23-year-old man died while jumping at
Ansteys Cove, south Devon, in June, 2005.
The following month an 18-year-old man
suffered head injuries following the craze -
which is called tombstoning - near
Porthleven, Cornwall.
And in August that year a 21-year-old
Australian bodyboarder broke both legs
tombstoning near Porthleven. - BBC News

No shortage of plonkers it would seem...
"A young man who dived from a Hampshire pier
in a practice known as "tombstoning" has
broken his neck and may never walk again,
police say.
Sonny Wells, 20, of Waterlooville, Hampshire,
was airlifted to hospital after jumping from
South Parade Pier in Southsea on Sunday
afternoon.
He plunged about 9m (30ft) into 1m (3.38ft)
of water and hit the bottom, causing severe
neck and head injuries.
"He will be remaining in Southampton General
Hospital for the foreseeable future as he
begins treatment."
- BBC NEWS (13 May 2008)
How dopey.
30ft drop into 3ft of water, doh!

I must live under a rcok i looked at this and
thought you meant the undertakers move in wwe
I dont undertsand why some one would do this,
seem less likely you will be unhurt than
other extreme sports ( if you can call it
one) its just fluncking stupid. |

I've not heard of tombstoning but why would
anyone of sound body and mind jump off a 30ft
drop into shallow water.That would be like
filling a kids paddling pool with water and
jumping off a gable of a 2 storey house roof
into the pool.You would defiantley just want
to be wrong in the head or out of it on
drugs. |
