Featuring at the top of there activities this year is Tombstoning. For those not in the know this activity requires a jump from a height into water. However over the last 5 years the RNLI have attended 139 incidents involving tombstoning that have gone wrong. 12 of them had a fatal ending. Tombstoning or jumping from height into the sea Tombstoning is a high-risk activity, which involves jumping or diving from a height into water. It can be dangerous because: * Water depth alters with the tide * The water may be shallower than it seems * Submerged objects like rocks may not be visible * They can cause serious injury if you jump onto them * The shock of cold water may make it difficult to swim * Strong currents can rapidly sweep people away.  However, for those who wish to participate in tombstoning, taking into account the following advice beforehand can reduce the risks: * Check for hazards in the water. Rocks or submerged objects under the sea may not be visible through the surface * Check the depth of the water. Remember tides can rise or fall very quickly, it may start off deep enough but can quickly become shallower * As a rule of thumb, a jump of ten metres requires a depth of at least five metres. * Never jump while under the influence of alcohol, drugs or peer pressure * Consider the risk to others. Conditions can change rapidly so remember young people could be watching and attempt to mimic the activity * Check for access, it may be impossible to get out of the water Bournemouth Explorer Scouts website or Bmouthyexplorers!
