Kids jumping in Liffey from roof.

The comments on you tube are quite abusive towards these kids.

Is it not just a bunch of youths having a larf?

Article here where the author suggests that the boy struck exposed steel on the ledge below him.

I can't see any reputable written source to back up the video. There is nothing from any newpaper, that I can find.

I have my doubts.

Nasty video, by the way. I recommend not watching it.

Good Jaysus OP never read YT comments, they are invariably vile. YT doesn't care. I use an extension that replaces them all with the words "herp derp" instead, much more pleasant

That the best the Dubs can do? :P

Jumping off the bridge by Ardnacrushna is far higher and more impressive

SharonGodwinFans (youtube user) is obviously reading Afterhours..

Posting racist comments on a few videos that are posted here.

First time I noticed was the Riots on Portmarnock beach, but now appears in Brighton train video (DrunkRacist Irishman goes Viral) and this..

Yes SharonGodwinFans is a piece of work. I exchanged a few comments with him/her on one of the Portmarnock videos. I am actually relieved to see that he/she is just a troll as the level of racism seemed immense.

Maybe im just thinking this to keep sane, but there's no way someone would
keep filming that in the ER room, the doctors woudln't allow it.

Guy dives off a wall into the sea, but he slips just as he's about to jump and falls head first into a bit of concrete below.

Head lands on the corner of the concrete and he falls into the water unconscious.

Scene cuts to him in hospital, his face is literally split in half while he's still alive. Not just a cut down his face, I mean actually split in half and lying there gaping open. Doctor has to put his hands on both sides of the face and push them together to make it even look like a face again.

The water is red, cause obviously when you split your face in half you bleed quite a bit.

Apparently he died a few days later.

Jaysus. I feel nauseous even reading about it.

Exactly. They're the worst kind. Young lads never did anything stupid in my day. I blame the video games and the trailer for that superman film.

If video games affected young people then Pacman would have caused our generation to be running around in dark rooms, munching pills and listening to repetitive electronic music.

The guys are complete morons. That's so dangerous and they're lucky one of them isn't dead.

Pretty certain that when i was 16 i would have been first in line. let's face it, teenagers are isiots.

Young people have no concept of danger, and then in a group being egged on by others don't want to be seen as a coward.

The Liffey needs more crocodiles.

kylith

Bunch of fecking eejits.

Herb Powell

That took balls. Not a ****ing hope I'd do that.

DaithiOGormain

I hope that if anybody was to get hurt it would be one of the eejits jumping off and not some person just walking along going about their own business.

That doc was trying to push the kids face together with his hands, (reportedly) repeating "Where do I begin?" Doesn't inspire confidence.

I don't think that place was the Cleveland Clinic.

It's all well and good to say they are only young lads, just having a laugh, trying to feel alive, blah blah blah. You can do all that without actually putting your life in danger. Some teens have no cop on,no basic common sense cop on at all.

I am a secondary school teacher and at the end of every year I remind them to be safe and think about what they are doing and if it seems risky or stupid,it most likely is. Few years ago one student in a previous school I was in was doing something similar to that video in the OP, he hit his head of a rock in the Liffey and drowned, 15 years old. Nice memory for all his friends to have witnessed and for everyone that cared about him to have to deal with.

My next school a few lads decided to play chicken on the motorway, he was on the way back when he got hit by a car going 100km/ph, killed instantly in front of all his friends, 16 years old.

There are many ways to have a laugh and enjoy yourself without taking stupid risks that cut your life short far too early and destroy the lives of those closest to you. To also say that teens are just stupid, I never did anything so stupid when I was that age I have taught tons of students that I know would have the sense not to do stuff like that either.

Those noobs made the news anyway.

If a few eegits want to risk serious injury by doing that then l say let them at it.

Ah here, there's no comparison between jumping into a river and playing ****ing chicken on a motorway, in fairness

I was devastated at it not being suicide attempts

St.Spodo

They appear to be making a blind landing on the inside of the Liffey wall. Huge danger of jumping on a mate's head. Crazy, crazy stuff.

Maybe you should head up there and lead them by example.
