Brave Brit in Tenerife miscalculates cliff jump

Fortunately Chitty is ok…

This is the horror moment a British tourist plunged from a cliff crashing into rocks below in a popular spot on the Spanish island of Tenerife.

The man was stretchered away from the scene “seriously injured” after the stunt had gone awry on Monday, The Sun reports.
The footage shows a group of British tourists count down a friend moments before he plunges from the cliffs into the small sea surface below.


But the tombstoning - act of diving from high point into deep water - had gone wrong when the 40-year-old miscalculated his jump.
Shocked onlookers can be heard reacting immediately after the man landed on rocks instead and then fell into the water.
The stomach-churning clip shows the man smash feet-first onto the rocks as he appears to have broken at least one leg.


Other tourists seem to have performed the same dive earlier as they are seen in the pool when he suffered the horrific accident.
The near-tragedy happened around 2pm on Monday at a sea cave called Charco El Tancon in Puerto Santiago in northern Tenerife.
The injured man was pulled out of the water by his friends before the emergency services arrived at the scene.
The firefighters had stabilised the man at a local health centre before he was rushed to Hospitan Sur University Hospital.
