Moment reckless daredevils defy police to ‘tombstone’ into sea from charity’s roof

Daily Mail · 2 hours ago

Footage has emerged showing a group of daredevils "tombstoning" – leaping from a height directly into the sea – off the roof of a charity building, apparently in open defiance of police who were present at the scene. Tombstoning is a well-documented hazard around Britain's coasts, as jumpers cannot see hidden rocks, changing tides or shifting water depths below the surface, and it has caused serious injuries and deaths in past incidents, prompting repeated warnings from police and coastguard services.

The specific report does not provide further verified details, such as the exact location, the identities of those involved, or the charity whose roof was used, and no figures on injuries or arrests were given. The incident nonetheless fits a familiar pattern reported each summer, where authorities try to deter tombstoning at coastal spots and beauty locations, often issuing dispersal orders or warnings that are then ignored by thrill-seekers filmed carrying out the jumps regardless.

  • Daredevils filmed tombstoning into the sea from a charity's roof.
  • They reportedly defied police presence to make the jump.
  • Tombstoning carries serious injury and death risks from hidden hazards.
