Terrifying moment when a female thrill-seeker crashes into rocks when the jump off a cliff in the Italian Sea goes horribly wrong
- The woman’s partner tried to hold her down, but she crashed into the rocks below
- It reportedly took her an hour to be transported to a waiting ambulance
This is the terrifying moment when a female thrillseeker crashed into rocks after her cliff jump into the Italian Sea went horribly wrong.
A tourist at the Fiordo di Furore cliffs – which translates to Fjord of Fury – in Italy captured the moment when a woman plunged off the cliff face into the water below, despite her partner desperately trying to grab her.
The woman seemed to hit the rough rocks with her legs before falling headfirst into the sea.
Australian tourist Kal Glanzig, who shot the footage, had emphasized the importance of travel insurance just before her fall as she prepared to jump into the water.
Mr Glanzig said: ‘In this week’s episode on why you should buy travel insurance, we have an old friend (the woman) who has no idea what the water temperature is.’

The video’s caption read, “If only travel insurance companies offered extra idiot protection.”
He said it took nearly an hour to get the woman to the waiting ambulance.
His video stunned viewers, as many said they couldn’t understand why she would want to jump into the water in the first place because it’s shallow.
One of his followers said, “Something tells me her day tomorrow will be just as bad,” while another added, ”

Tourism heads have long warned of the dangers of jumping off cliffs into the sea for thrills.
Last year, a British tourist was left in intensive care after falling on rocks when he jumped into the sea near the Ibiza party resort of San Antonio.
The holidaymaker, believed to be 33, is believed to have suffered a cervical vertebral fracture that could cause paralysis from the chest down.
earlier this year, two men were seriously injured after a botched cliff dive in which they plunged 100 feet (30 meters) from the sheer cliff face before falling belly-first into a water-filled ravine below.
Shocking footage showed the moment when the unknown men stood atop the cliff next to a wooden cross, took a deep breath and then jumped one after another into the abyss in the area of Canteras de Deuco in Angol, Chile, on Jan. 4.
The first jumper landed only a few feet from the edge of the cliff, narrowly escaping death, but hit the water with a sickening blow, sending the water high into the air despite having a relatively stable body position.
