In Portugal, tombstoning has been around for ages. Adolescents would not only dive off vertical cliffs, but would take massive run ups to avoid cliffs with an incline, to avoid hitting the bottom of it, rather than the water.
Practically every weekend I would see one or two kids, covered in blood, waiting for the ambulance.
I never saw adults do it, though.Comment

As Bill Hicks would say, rejoice, the world got lighter, another moron bit the dust.The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.
But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”Comment
