A grandmother suffered a horrific fractured spine after she leaped from a 35 ft high cliff into a Jamaican lagoon. Maggie Ricketts, 63, said that when she hit the water it was like smashing into a ‘brick wall’.
She was left in agony on the £2 dream holiday and the accident happened only three days into it. Instead of forming a perfect dive she hit the water in a sitting position - and had to be carried out by partner Peter Wood, 67.
Maggie said:”She said: “I was in so much pain I couldn’t walk. It felt like I had hit a brick wall. mI stayed in the hotel room for a lot. The holiday was ruined. It was horrendous. I have never felt anything like it. I couldn’t get my breath - I thought I was going to drown.
