A woman's life changed forever after she dived into a pool at a party - and woke up quadriplegic. Sporty Dana Barrett, 31, celebrated her victory in a game at a garden party by diving into a pool - but it ended in horror.
The incident saw Dana hit her head on the bottom of the pool - and break her neck. After being rushed to hospital by air ambulance, she learnt days later that she had broken her C2 vertebrae in her neck - leaving her quadriplegic.
Dana spent over a year in various hospitals following the accident on June 29, 2019,as she was no longer able to move or breathe independently. Once very sporty, Dana was forced to come to terms with the fact that her life would be very different from now on - and warned others of the dangers of diving.
