Great school boy fun is harbour jumping. A school boy jumped off the new Wadebridge bypass bridge into the river below. The bridge must be about 50' high. Local news is that the following CG rescue was in the region of £16 000. Police are considering prosecuting the boy for wasting CG time.

Must be summer madness.

They will ban go-karting next, then hide and seek then....

Jumping of Wadebridge bye-pass bridge is about same as go-karting on the M1, think 50' is very conservative, thought it was nearer 100' from memory.

On the Continent it seems all the kids jump off bridges! Good character building stuff...for kids that still have some guts

Over here you get prosecuted!

Would have thought that the only reason for jumping off that bridge would be that you had suicide in mind, madness in view......
Shallow water below and a long way down...
