A shocking video shows the moment a man jumped of Dorset’s Durdle Door, seriously injuring himself.
In the clip, the man can be seen leaping 200ft off the well-known beauty spot before crashing into the sea. While some beach-goers were cheering the man on, others looked on in horror and screamed as he hit the water.
Following the ordeal, the man was air-lifted to Dorset County Hospital. The helicopter had to land on the beach filled with people during Britain’s ongoing heatwave.

According to The Sun, the man who performed the stunt, known as ‘tombstoning’, was 38 years old and had travelled all the way down from Grimsby. It’s believed there have been 20 deaths in the UK caused by doing such jumps in the last 16 years, the publication added.
Reiss Simons, who filmed the ordeal earlier this week, wrote on Facebook that the guy had broken his arm as a result of the 200ft jump, and was arrested for causing the whole beach to be closed off. It’s since been confirmed the man sustained a dislocated shoulder, however.
Meanwhile, another witness, Khawar Khawaja, thought he was trying to take his own life.
