Tombstoning Craze - Drunken Idiot's Sport (VIDEO)
Drunken Idiot's Sport

Tombstoning is the name given to the crazy act of jumping from cliffs and monuments along the seashore in the UK. The aptly named sport indicates the danger of the activity, which some Brits refer to as the sport of drunken idiots.

The activity of tombstoning has claimed many lives in recent years, but an outdoor pursuits organization says its activity is safely supervised. "People wanting to experience this should do it in controlled conditions," said operations manager Paul Bradford. Between 1997 and 2003, 106 people drowned as a result of jumping into water with seven at coastal locations. He explained that 75% of cases were men and that drinking was a factor in a lot of deaths.
