Kids jumping in Liffey from roof.

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.

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.

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.

Bunch of fecking eejits.

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.

I was devastated at it not being suicide attempts

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