Here in Florida the terrain is a bit flat and we lack in "jumpable" waterfalls, so we had to come up with our own "Darwin" sport:

Though I live close to it, I've never been there. I've heard that its very beautiful.

One of the local TV news shows reported that witnesses said that the man stood at the falls for several minutes then ran and jumped. Several people have severely injured or killed from accidentally falling from the top.

I hope he knew how to swim,.....because the fall didn't kill him.

The article says he hurt his back. That is something he may have to live with now.
