Man pulled unconscious from sea after 'tombstoning' in Tenby
Police have issued fresh warnings about jumping from cliffs into the sea
Police are warning about the dangers of so called 'tombstoning' after a 23 year old man was pulled from the sea after jumping from cliffs in Tenby.
The emergency services were called to a beach opposite St Catherine's Island at around 6.15pm on Saturday and the RNLI administered CPR to the 23-year-old who was unconscious and not breathing.
Inspector Gavin Howells said the RNLI “most likely saved this man’s life”.
He said: “This incident highlights the serious danger posed by tombstoning or cliff jumping, and the potentially life-threatening consequences.
“We urge people not to take part in this sort of activity anywhere along our coastline, and not to put themselves or the emergency services at risk for a thrill.”
The man regained consciousness and was taken to hospital for assessment.
