Shocking moment ‘idiot’ tourist smashes into rocks in cliff fall after trying to jump into water in Italy
THIS is the shocking moment an “idiot” tourist attempted to jump off a scenic Italian cliff – but instead fell onto the rocks below.
Australian tourist Kal Glanzig caught the moment on camera only moments after he was explaining how important travel insurance is.
In the background of Kal’s video, a woman can be seen eyeing how far the drop into the waters below the cliffs of Fiordo di Furore – which translates as “Fjord of Fury”.
Kal said: “On this week’s episode of why you should get travel insurance, we have old mate [the woman] who has no idea what the water temp is.”
Suddenly, the woman can be heard screaming as she falls down the rock face into the waters below.
Her partner appeared to reach out to help her before she fell, but it was too late.
The woman appeared to hit her legs on the rough rocks as she fell in front of stunned onlookers.
Kal observed: “If only travel insurance companies offered extra idiot protection.”
It took upwards of an hour to help the woman up the stairs to the waiting ambulance, he said.
Viewers of the viral video were shocked the woman attempted to jump, with many observing the water seemed far too shallow.
One follower said: “Something tells me her day tomorrow is going to be just as bad.”
Another commented: “The ol hesitation. It will get you.”
A fellow traveller shared: “I’ve been there… it’s very shallow water.”
Last month, a teenage girl died after falling from a picturesque beach cliff in Devon.
The horror fall occurred near Hope Cove in south Devon.
Cops said her family had been made aware of the tragedy.
A Devon and Cornwall police spokeswoman said: “The death is not being treated as suspicious and inquiries are continuing.”
It comes after an elderly couple were found dead at the bottom of sheer cliffs and may have tripped on their coastal walk, an inquest heard.
