The last moments of the life of a man who jumped off a cliff in Hawaii (5 photos + 1 video)
A video of a fatal jump from Spitting Cave on the island of Oahu, Hawaii, has gone viral. Santiago Bourdieu, a 28-year-old Argentine tourist, jumped into the water from a height of 15 meters and landed awkwardly. When the man did not resurface, his friend began searching. 
Honolulu Ocean Safety arrived at the scene. About 15 minutes later, rescuers found Bourdieu in the churning waves. He was given CPR and reportedly responded to assistance. However, the tourist later died in the hospital. 
Santiago was a physical education teacher at the San Nicolas School in Buenos Aires, worked part-time as an instructor at a fitness club, and played rugby. 
The Spitting Cave rocks are one of the most visited attractions on the island. The name comes from the force of the waves crashing against the rocks, making it look like the cave is spitting out water.
Honolulu Ocean Safety officials told KHON 2 Hawaii that they have responded to 52 calls for cliff jumping injuries, drownings, and near drownings in the past five years.
Brian Lauro, a former resident of the area, said, "If the rock is wet, you can get pulled off it and into the water and not be able to get out. And it is difficult to swim in foamy water, it has negative buoyancy. It is as if you were in liquid quicksand."
The authorities warned that jumping from the cliff is prohibited and installed a prohibition sign.
"The fact that tourists can swim in the pool, bathe in the lake or jump into the quarry does not give them the right to do it here. They are warned about the danger, but they watch local children jumping and want to repeat it. And then they start getting into trouble," Lauro shared.
