15-year-old Jack headed out to enjoy a summer’s day at the beach with his friends and girlfriend. But a few hours later, Lisa, Jack's mum, received a call that she would never forget. She was told that Jack’s jump from Margate Pier had gone very wrong and that after spending 8 minutes underwater, he was being airlifted to hospital. Jack has been left with irreversible brain damage and is now on palliative care. Jack’s stepfather Dave and mum Lisa join us to warn others about the split-second decision that has changed his, and his family’s life forever.

    Every summer young people lose their lives or are left with terrible injuries due to swimming and diving accidents. I have great sympathy for this family. I hope he recovers.

    The step dad likes the sound of his own voice. Interupting the mum

    Aw, This is so awful. Im so sorry for this poor family and young boy and all the people that knew him.

    So sad what happened to this young man. What I found annoying is the step-dad kept interrupting the mother and cutting her off when she was talking. At one point she seemed rather annoyed.

    I hope he continues to recover well. I thought the sister and the father spoke so well about such a traumatic event.

    That young man met Jesus. I pray that He surrenders his life to Jesus who saves.
