Anyone hear of the Darwin Awards. This is the sort of person who guarantees the survival of the human race by clearing the prats out of the gene pool.
If we are lucky, we will all be a car length up in traffic tomorrow.

This has always been a problem in Eastbourne. The security staff on the pier used to stop this and also the Parade Inspector before they got rid of her, she was brilliant at her job on the seafront.

I think there's an easy way to stop people jumping off the piers. Firstly - stop calling it 'tombstoning' and making it sound glamorous.
Secondly put up large signs on the piers saying that anyone who injures themselves jumping into the water will be liable for the total cost of all hospital treatment and RNLI rescue - minimum charge £1000.
I think you might see fewer people jumping.
