‘I Hesitated’: Cliff-Jumper Breaks Both Feet on Rocks Near Water

A Boston preschool teacher’s dream vacation turned into a nightmare after she jumped off a cliff and smashed into jagged rocks on the way down. Jamie Brotsky, 29, was visiting the coastal region of Italy when she decided to attempt the leap. “It was the type of jump where you have to run, jump and clear the rocks to make it into the water. And I hesitated, and I knew in that moment, ‘You are about to get hurt,’” Brotsky said.
