In this life WE ALL take risks...sometimes just crossing the street. Please, there is no need to be mean about this tragic accident.
Something needs to be done about the medical support for Negril. Millions of dollars are spent there....why no ambulance? Seems like if you get into any sort of medical issue, might as well take a taxi, they drive fasta.

My condolences to family and friends of this young man.. not only dealing with the death of their young son but will also have to deal with bringing him back home..
The man could have been an experienced diver and still suffered the same tragedy-bad things happen even when no one is at fault. For any of you to bad-mouth him and his judgement or character i hope you never have to deal a similar fate with your loved one..
Jam is a 3rd world country with limited resources...Even if there is an ambulance, a hospital,etc... you have to realize its not the same nor does it function the same as in the states..You do take a greater risk with your life and health when visiting a country with limited health resources..thats just a fact...That being said, its hard to believe a place like ricks doesnt have better handle on its basic life/health emergency equipment...an empty o2 bottle ??!!
again, my sympathies to this mans family and friends..rip...

So sad. My thoughts and prayers are with the loved ones of this young man. My kids are in their 20s and have jumped off the high platform there many times over the years to my dismay. Probably would be a good idea to only let the Jamaican professionals jump from that high. Pirate's Cave (now Pushcart) used to allow people to jump there but not anymore.

A tragic loss of a young fellow Canadian. My condolences to his family and friends.
What if Ricks stopped people from jumping? Do you think that would kill their profit margin? Is the appeal to go to Ricks so you can jump or to view the divers, watch sunset and eat and drink?

I have a son who is 26. I can only imagine the pain this family is feeling. May God wrap his loving arms around them and comfort them. Rest in Peace young man.

I am moving this post into that thread...
Negril.com - For the vacation that never ends!
A friend of our family dove from a pontoon boat into a Wisconsin Lake where he had been diving for most of his 30 years - sadly that dive ended in tragedy also. My condolences to the family and friends and my prayers to them and also to those who fail to respect those who suffer such tragedies and realize that it could just as easily be them walking in those mournful shoes.
What the Captain said.
I remember my first visit to Negril in Feb. 1998. I was part of the management team that sent a group of listeners to our radio station's big contest destination. A week in Negril at Mariners (Negril Escape).
One of the prize winners ended up with very bad bruising from ankle to her butt after jumping at Rick's.
It wasn't pretty and it ruined her vacation.
People need to think before they leap.
