Starting early.
[Two young men whose lives were claimed off the Devon coast are among a number of drowning victims this Bank Holiday, as sunseekers have flocked to Britain's beaches and rivers amid unseasonably warm weather. The two men in their 20s died after being rescued from the water off Oddicombe, Torbay, yesterday morning, Devon and Cornwall Police said. The Coastguard and police rushed to the scene at around 9am and pulled the men from the water, with one tragically declared dead at the scene while the other man died in hospital.] https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...k-Holiday.html https://news.sky.com/story/two-men-d...coast-12891589 Last edited by arista; 26-06-2023 at 12:56 AM. |

Loads of the teenagers / young men do that crazy “ tombstoning”‘ down Devon and Cornwall way - where they compete against other lads to do the fanciest jump or five off the harbour walls ..
We saw one youngster fall onto the concrete steps as he miscalculated . It was horrific to witness Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro Last edited by Zizu; 28-05-2023 at 03:45 PM. |

The problem with young people is they think they're immortal.
It's only when you get a bit older and you've had some minor accidents, you realise that minor accident could have been very serious. It's then you take a step back and think, 'wow, I was lucky. I'll know next time.' |
