Lord have mercy because they do not know what it means to live with a spinal injury.

It has been going on all summer and does not seem that it will stop despite all the warnings so sad

as you can see they are doing it infront of the warning sign as if to mock it

Yes Lara Comino is a breath taking tiny island, should these guys take a goggle and a pair of flippers they could have such a wonderful view of the most beautiful coral and wildlife in the Mediterranean, yet they do otherwise. sigh i miss my boat and diving equipment.

There are warning signs but is it illegal to jump off these little cliffs? If so they should do a better job with law enforcement such as have the area guarded by security and if it's not illegal, it should be. These kids have no sense of reality and probably never will unless something happens to them so there needs to be some sort of physical law enforcement.

People think that it can never happen to them. Unfortunately, it can!

It freaks my dad out when he watches America's Funniest Home videos sometimes. You never realize how easy it is to get a SCI until it happens to you. Unfortunately we found out the hard way. This is exactly the reason why I public speak and tell my story to young people. Thanks for sharing that!

Do something today that your future self will thank you for.

Double trouble methinks!

....but in all serioussnes people just don't realise the risks until its too late, unfortunately. The problem is that adrenlin junkies like the danger and thrill so how can you educate them of the dangers?

I guess the time to catch them is in school..life skills arent taught enough unfortunately. Here in the UK teachers only have time for following the curriculum so no time for any of this important stuff

Maybe it can be taught through the reading books at a higher level or as you say...deanertheweiner/..public speaking

I'll be happy if I save only a few lives. Plus I get to meet some very good looking teachers along the way .
