Man injured at Blue Lagoon after jumping from top platform

A man was injured at the popular Blue Lagoon in Pembrokeshire after jumping from the top platform.

The lagoon, at Abereiddy, is an old slate quarry and a favourite place for people to jump off the old quarry walls into the deep water below. The coastguard were called to help the man on Tuesday, August 2. It was the second time in a week that the coastguard had to be called out.

A local coasteering company helped get the man out of the water and fashioned a makeshift stretcher using a paddleboard. He was then airlifted away from the cliffs to a waiting ambulance where he was transferred to hospital.
