On July 9, 47-year-old David Martínez Grimalt jumped into the sea from a jetty in Playa de Muro. He suffered a blow to the neck that left him immobile - the water depth is only around half a metre. From his hospital bed in Son Espases, he says that a stranger saved his life. "I would like to meet him. Without him I would be dead."

Such a lucky escape, hopefully a full recovery. Meanwhile the red-tops are spinning this with the usual Brit-bashing headlines. hxxps://www.thesun.co.uk/news/23398399/holiday-warning-massive-fine-jumping-in-sea-spain/
This could so easily have gone the other way. Permanent paralysis, disability or even loss of life. I very much hope that David Martínez Grimalt will repay his medical treatment by becoming a spokesperson against diving from rocks and cliff edges and discourage others from having a go.
