I personally wouldn't....be too scared.

No, I think you need to an adrenaline junkie, or too young to consider the consequences for something like that.

No, it's extremely dangerous!

RMAOK

Not a chance in hell would I do that

No. Will never forget that video of the guy who did something similar, clipped rocks on the way down and literally split his face in half.

If you're stupid enough to jump of the cliff, let them off.

darwin's theory ?

If I was a teenager and I could swim and I was pi**ed I might have given it a shot. Peer pressure would have gotten the better of me.

Gave me nightmares that video did, horrendous

Don't interrupt Darwin when he is at work?

*In saying that, can I publicly thank all those more mature and senior to me who assisted in protecting me from myself at that age - because I did try, man did I try.

Paddy Cow

Absolutely not. I have a phobia of heights so probably wouldn't even make it to the edge of the cliff

Young people though don't really think of mortality and are reckless and sometimes stupid. Some idiot pushed her friend off a high bridge and the friend was lucky to survive.

Not in a million years.

Thirty years ago my cousin died doing something similar. He was 19. I was 9 at the time but can remember his 2 sisters clutching each other and crying hysterically in the funeral parlour.

His Dad died 2 years later from a massive heart attack. Literally died of a broken heart. He was only 52.

Highest I ever jumped was from 10 m, from a proper diving board, into a proper diving pool. Got it wrong one time and kinda belly-flopped...man that hurts.

No way would I jump from (more than) twice that height, ever, not even into a 100% safe pool. Throw in a slippery cliff edge, sharp rocky outcrops and an unknown depth of the water and it's just pure insanity.

Leave them to it, handy form of population control

Reminds me of the fella who jumped into the sea at Salthill duing storm Ophelia, it's gobsh1tes like him and these lads that put the lives of emergency service personnel at risk and also waste their time when they could be attending people who really need their help.

A broken back would give them lots of time to think about their stupidity.

I think there needs to be some kind of safety awareness classes in primary schools. To prevent deaths caused by swimming in water reservoirs/lakes during heatwaves, falling of cliffs for selfie 'likes', jumping from hotel balcony's to adjoining balcony's or into the hotel pool on drunken sunshine holidays, and whatever other similar crazy things teenagers and young adults seem to do for attention these days.

No, because it's fucking dumb.

Even if you jump "correctly" and don't injure yourself with the impact on the water, you have no idea what's under it that you could smash yourself off of.

Arghus

Thankfully I would be too afraid of death to even attempt that.

I would never have done it because I'm not that much of an idiot.

It's the patented Boards self-righteous and ultra judgemental style: none of these people ever did anything stupid in their lives, especially when they were young and foolhardy and part of a group.

I wouldn't have done it back in the day, but mainly because I would be too afraid to, but I can understand how it might appeal to gang of foolish fifteen year olds.

Maybe that's why they are so bitter - they never did anything exciting in their youth.

I'm fairly sure most schools do some kind of water safety flag now and a lot this would be covered in this!

TerrorFirmer

Being young and doing stupid things is not exclusive with doing incredibly dangerous life-threatening things in fairness.

Most people did loads of exciting and stupid things in their youth (and well into adulthood) that weren't inherently life-threatening.

None of my friends or I threw ourselves off random cliffs or hopped from balcony to balcony in high-rise apartments. Guess according to some people that means we were missing out or never had any fun!

Caution favours old age.

Are people so stupid that they have to be told not to do these things?

Or is it a case of the adrenalin rush makes it attractive despite the danger?

There’s plenty of safe jumping spots around Kilkee. We even have fab diving boards off the cliff side which we had to fight Clare co co to replace after they removed them a few years ago. Knowing the area as I do it’s complete lunacy what they are doing. It’s also in an area that a rescue boat will struggle to get near in the event of an accident.
