Gordon Clay here. It's called Bridge Jumping. And it's been around for hundreds of years. It first took place in 1664 off the Stari Most bridge in Mostar, Bosnia. And NOT with a bungy cord attached. Every year on May 1, Oxford scholars gather on the Magellan Bridge to jump into the Cheerful River.

However, with the advent of You Tube, bridge jumping has reached trend status as teens film themselves diving from increasingly dangerous heights, posting the heart-stopping videos to You Tube. 'Good Morning America' chronicled the extremely dangerous form of online one-upmanship. Footage shows thrill-seeking teens jumping from bridges and cliffs. "They are incredible jumps from outrageous heights, teens taking death-defying dives, even back-flipping off bridges. All documented and posted to You Tube, creating intense viral peer pressure," said one observer.

"It's primarily just all about feeling a bit of freedom for that moment," explains another. But chasing that rush can be fatal. Nineteen-year-old Wade McCurdy died after taking a 65-foot plunge off a bridge. Another teen heard the wake-up call when she hit the water so hard, the blood vessels in her legs were instantly broken. And a third, a very disturbing video of a young man who's face literally splits in half.

I can think of a much better summer activity. Come to Sporsthaven Beach in Harbor at noon this Saturday and join others celebrating an international event called Hands Across the Sand. It's a statement to say NO to offshore drilling and YES to clean energy. See you there.
