‘WHEN staff on a bungee platform above the Waikato River on New Zealand’s central North Island wouldnt let a 30-year-old man jump, it was not the kind of rebuff he was going to take lying down.
Instead, he barged past them and dived 154 feet into the river without a rope attached to his leg. The impact with the water knocked the unidentified man unconscious, but he was quickly rescued and flown to nearby Taupo hospital.
Constable Tracey Haggart said police had no plans to charge the man who was said to have consumed ”a small amount of alcohol”. One dreads to think what he gets up to when hes really drunk.’
