Regular readers will know we continue to raise the subject of tombstoning and this is why.....
This week it was reported in a local newspaper and website of an incident at the World Famous Durdle Door where a youth was reported climbing up the cliff to jump. A rescue helicopter was tasked along with the Lulworth Coastguard team. On the website there is a chance to leave your comments and personally I found one of the comments very unhelpful.
Basically someone had commented along the lines of what a waste of money sending a helicopter for people enjoying themselves.......
Today at Sandbanks I heard that someone "tombstoning" has been paralysed from the neck down, that's why the Coastguard take this problem seriously.
Please think about it, we are not spoil sports all around the country Coastguards, Lifeboats and many more professional are having to attend accidents which are so avoidable.
