It is called assumption of the risk and this poor fellow assumed it. How horrible for his family. I read the comments from the article Tizzy provided and the MD who stated onlookers were told he was just drunk, etc. I hate to speak on things I know little facts about, but what he attempted and what resulted from that attempt show he was not an experienced diver, or if he was- perhaps too impaired to execute the dive. As far as critical comments about Ricks- and how an ambulance should have been quicker, etc. There are Jamaicans who live there and know immediate medical care is non-existent to them in life threatening situation, let alone tourists who "place" themselves in life threatening situations demanding some type of extraordinary care. I must say I agree Accompong entirely.

Sad thing.
