A cascade of cliff-jumpers continues to catapult themselves off Sunset Cliffs, a week and a half after two high-profile rescues. One case involved a 17-year-old who jumped and crashed on the cliffs. The other involved a man who fell trying to climb the cliffs. Law enforcement has made it abundant ly clear — cliff jumping is illegal. San Diego police and lifeguards said they have increased patrols in light of the recent issues. NBC San Diego crews witnessed lifeguards in boats using bullhorns to try and get jumpers off the cliffs on Tuesday. A crew was also stationed in one of their trucks, parked off the cliffs, trying to dissuade illegal activity. San Diego police said they handed out over 300 warnings and 18 misdemeanor citations to would-be jumpers. But people who take the plunge say that won’t do the trick. “It’s adrenaline,” said Michael Nava who was in San Diego from Oak Hills in San Bernardino County to make the leap. “It’s like a rollercoaster. If you like them, you want to do it over and over again. It’s like dopamine!” City law states it is illegal to jump or dive into the ocean or into Mission Bay from anything more than 5 feet above the water. But jumpers said the teen who injured himself jumping, made the leap from the wrong place. “I feel like that was too far of a gap,” said Seth Marcil. “You’ve got to understand what you’re jumping off of, what your exit place is and kind of what you’re doing,” said jumper Luke Bailey. A violation of the misdemeanor ordinance is punishable with a fine of up to $500 or jail time. ...read more read less
