After admiring the athletes at the Olympic games for the past several weeks, a 17-year-old boy in central China's Hunan province recently jumped off a 25-meter-high bridge. Unfortunately, unlike China's accomplished Olympic divers, the boy's jump caused him to fracture his thoracic vertebra.

In a video of the jump that has been posted online, the boy, surnamed Yu, jumps confidently into the river with what appears to be zero hesitation. However, as soon as he emerged from the water, Yu had to be rushed to the hospital. His thoracic vertebra was fractured and his lungs were also injured. Despite Yu's unsuccessful jump, this bridge has attracted a number of other local daredevils to make their own attempts.
