15-year-old Jack headed out to enjoy a summer’s day at the beach with his friends and girlfriend. But a few hours later, Lisa, Jack's mum, received a call that she would never forget. She was told that Jack’s jump from Margate Pier had gone very wrong and that after spending 8 minutes underwater, he was being airlifted to hospital. Jack has been left with irreversible brain damage and is now on palliative care. Jack’s stepfather Dave and mum Lisa join us to warn others about the split-second decision that has changed his, and his family’s life forever.

Every summer young people lose their lives or are left with terrible injuries due to swimming and diving accidents. I have great sympathy for this family. I hope he recovers.

I wish the step dad would let mum talk.

The step dad should not keep saying ‘I do it myself’ about pier jumping etc. Do not encourage that behaviour when your step-son has suffered as a result of doing that.

It’s vital for individuals to learn how to do flips correctly. Visiting a gymnastics center once or twice can and asking them to teach you how to protect your head, neck spine etc is so vital to life! Always listen to someone trying to help you learn correctly because they are trying to help others from trauma.

For anyone reading, in lifeguard training you have 10 seconds to spot someone in distress and 20 seconds to get them and administer help… that’s how quick you need to act. If your mates in the water and you think they’re messing about for longer than 10-20 seconds, go and check!

So sad what happened to this young man. What I found annoying is the step-dad kept interrupting the mother and cutting her off when she was talking. At one point she seemed rather annoyed.

The flip knocked him out, it was the fact he then spent 8 minutes under water that did the damage.
