A group of British tourists were enjoying their holiday in Tenerife when a shocking incident occurred. One of their friends, a 40-year-old man, had attempted a jump into the sea at a popular beauty spot called Charco El Tancon. However, things did not go as planned for the man and he ended up landing on the rocks instead of the water.
According to witnesses, the group had been counting down from five before the man took his leap. Unfortunately, he misjudged the distance and hit the rocks with his feet, causing serious injuries. The group of friends had been filming themselves performing daring jumps and flips into the sea before moving to this particular spot.
The injured man was quickly pulled out of the water and emergency services were called. He was taken to a nearby hospital where he received treatment for his injuries, including serious lower limb trauma. It was reported that he had suffered at least one broken leg.
Charco El Tancon, the sea cave where the accident occurred, has a history of being a dangerous spot. In the past, several people have lost their lives there and it is listed as permanently closed on TripAdvisor. Despite this, some tourists still choose to visit and even take photos there, like Spanish influencer Marina Rivera Saldana who received criticism for doing so last September.
The man's friends were understandably shaken by the incident and it is not known what his current condition is. The local authorities have reminded people to be cautious and not to take unnecessary risks when visiting this area. A Canary Islands-based organization that aims to prevent aquatic accidents has also expressed their disappointment at the recklessness that led to this tragic event.
Let this serve as a reminder to always prioritize safety and follow the rules, especially when it comes to potentially dangerous activities. One moment of recklessness can have serious consequences.
