Police warn of jumping into sea from height

Wed, 17 Jul 2019


The police have issued a plea to young people not to jump from or swim in the Island’s harbours.

With an increase in the good weather - officers have warned people against diving from cliffs, rock faces and harbour areas.

Earlier this month, a teenager was injured after jumping to Peel Harbour and landing in a viking boat.

Maritime Coastguard Agency figures from the UK from 2009 to 2011 show there were 22 spinal injuries and six deaths from people jumping into the sea.
