He then proceeded to make stranges noises before loosing all control of his legs, of course following this being as close to the edge as he was he fell 10ft towards a very shallow bit of the river, and was in the air for approximately 3-4 seconds. after the journey from the top he then landed on a jaggy pile of rocks. we got this statment as it happened...
