Thrill-seekers are continuing to put their lives in jeopardy, with more people caught jumping off bridges on the far north coast.
School children on the Tweed are using the holidays as an opportunity to take the plunge and it’s sparked a stern warning from authorities.

I am so disappointed in your editing of this video, YOU LIARS! You humiliated us, i would just like to know how many people have died or been seriously injured when jumping of the bridge. You tricked us by saying that this interview was about holidays and how we spent it. “fantastic” we were talking about the weather not bridge jumping.
hahaha its not a known danger fact, it is possibly the smallest bridge in the world an it is stupid that you can find something to complain about it.
KK87 out
We used to jump off the old bridge and waterpipe 40 years ago as local kids
The new bridge has a lot safer approach than we used to have and not the trucks from sand mining and passing through traffic like they said would kill us
Enjoy it kids we used to
old local and 4 kids from the bridge video are right.
kids have the right to do wat they want, i would rather my child be out and active then them being inside not getting involved with the world and what it has to offer
p.s that backflip in the video was awesome
These people make bridge jumping sound like a life threatning deal. Get Real mate! Its the exact same as jumping off a diving board.. theres allways people around in case something does happen on the rare occasion, and at the end of the day the kids are just enjoying them selves. Its just becoming ridiculous these days, seriously what isnt dangerous in nowadays.
ps. I think the boy in the clip with the towel (the one that says “its been fantastic) is an amazing actor. Hollywood standard
Its interesting that the Ambulance Paramedic interviewed is with Queensland Ambulance Service when this bridge is located in NSW, and Queensland Ambulance do not even respond to this area.Maybe the bridges in their area could be considered dangerous but each bridge should be individually assessed. I’d be interested to know just how many kids have suffered injuries jumping off Kingscliff bridge!
Thankyou.
This is absolutely ridiculous! It has been completely over dramatised. Give us some real statistics or incidences in which serious injuries/ accidents have occurred, and then maybe we’ll give your story some respect. And while your wasting time with trivialities like this there are far more serious issues that your time could be spent fixing.
You people obviously have nothing better to report on. You are making it seem like such a dangerous place, but it isn’t. I’m certain that no one has injured themselves jumping from this bridge, maybe some oyster cuts and some grazes by climbing on the rocks. Plus, I think that it is wrong that you have edited this footage to make it seem like those kids are careless about their safety. The boy replied “fantastic” referring to the whether not in reference to the pointless issue that you have reported on. I have lived in Kingscliff my entire life and the bridge is a popular meeting spot for friends and families and like the comment above mine, you have gone completely over the top with this issue and you’ve made such an admired spot seem like a deadly attraction.
