A horrified mum captured on her phone the exact moment her teenage son fractured his spine whilst tombstoning at a Welsh beauty spot. Lindsay Wilson was holidaying in Pembrokeshire with her family last week when they decided to pay a visit to the Blue Lagoon.
The site at Abereiddy in Pembrokeshire is an old quarry that's long been a popular place for those wishing to leap from its high slate walls into the deep water below. The 41-year-old NHS worker from Bradford said her son Sam had already taken the 30 plus foot plunge once and, upon climbing back up to jump a second time, she pulled out her mobile to film him.
However, Lindsay added that she knew something had gone badly wrong shortly after he emerged from the water, having hit the surface hard in a "slightly seated position." She described seeing the 16-year-old as having "turned pale" as he clung to the rocks in clear distress.
