Watch man bellyflop into sea from cliff (video)

The man injured his back

Newsroom June 2 09:00

A reckless cliff jumper in Britain was seriously injured after his failed 60-metre diver into the ocean ended up in a bellyflop at Durdle Door in Dorset County.

The video shows the young man falling very clumsily into the water, causing a fracture in his back.

Luckily for the diver, there were two rowers in the water who rushed to help him and get him out of the water.

The accident took place in Dorset, Britain, with a 20-year-old man diving from a popular Durdle Door rock.

The adventure for the 20-year-old did not stop there as it took the efforts of four women who gave him artificial respiration in order to restore his pulse.

The 20-year-old was then taken to a hospital where he was given first aid.
