The heart-stopping moment a drunk reveller plunged 15ft onto a concrete pavement from railings outside a bar in a notorious resort has been caught on camera.

The 23-year-old man, who is lucky to be alive, was reportedly showing off to friends by clambering over the safety barrier outside Chy Bar in Newquay, Cornwall.

Police later confirmed that his injuries were not life-threatening and that he had been treated for a fractured wrist.

The incident happened around 1.20am last Tuesday in the resort which is infamous for tragedies involving drunken youngsters.

Inspector Ian Drummond-Smith said: ‘The local man concerned has no memory of the incident.

‘This
man is exceptionally lucky to be alive and I hope that this will serve
as a warning to those who climb safety rails without considering the
risks.

‘Although he suffered an injury to his wrist, he is fortunate not to be more badly hurt.

‘Behaviour like this is not unique to Newquay and across the UK people take dangerous risks.’

Recently, it emerged that officers confiscated 370 bottles and cans of alcohol from a group of 16-year-olds.

Newquay
police are preparing to tackle the summer influx of party-goers, school
leavers and post-exam revellers with the re-launch of its No Nonsense
Campaign.

Mr Drummond-Smith
urged visitors to act responsibly and repeated pleas to parents not to
send their children to the resort with alcohol.

He
added: ‘Each year we are aware that parents provide alcohol, sometimes
in large quantities, to their under-age teenagers, and then leave them
in Newquay with their friends. The risks to their children are evident,
but they do not appear to consider these in the actions that they take.’

Mr Drummond-Smith said he was confident he had the resources to stay on top of crime and disorder this summer.

Despite losing some officers to the Olympics’ security effort, numbers remained similar to last year, he said.

However,
Mr Drummond-Smith added: ‘As it stands, we will be okay but if the
security level increases, or we see a repeat of last year’s riots (in
London), we may have difficulty.’

Lucky: The reveller is pictured moments before hitting the pavement but escaped with a fractured wrist

From next week, a crack Night Time Economy Team of 12 officers will patrol the streets into the early hours, seven days a week, to tackle antisocial behaviour and drunken nuisance-makers.

Six pubs and clubs in the town have installed state-of-the-art ID scanners which are linked to the police station and can help doormen spot fakes, known trouble-makers and under-age chancers.

Mr Drummond-Smith’s mission to ensure every major venue in town switches from glass to plastic or toughened glass is also expected to have a huge impact on public safety.

He said: ‘I know of a case of a doorman at one local nightclub being hit over the head with a bottle.

‘Luckily, it was a plastic bottle, but this time last year it would have been a serious assault. So I believe the project is already making a difference.’

Last year, the No Nonsense campaign, launched under the banner of the town’s safety partnership, Newquay Safe, saw 104 people banned from the town centre and a 30 per cent drop in antisocial behaviour.

Criminal damage also fell by nine per cent.

Mr Drummond-Smith said: ‘Newquay is a great place to visit and we will do our best to keep it safe for families and revellers alike.’

Are we supposed to have sympathy for this idiot?

– Civrasien, Vincennes, France, 03/7/2012 15:04

what an idiot, i hope he is thanking his lucky stars that he wasnt more seriously hurt. Why is that some people think they are superman when they have had a drop of alcohol?

– Gemma, Kent, 03/7/2012 14:47

Yes, i can see why a bar in that location wouldnt be a good idea, drunks trip up and fall over things all the time including their own tongues.

– Greg, London, UK, 03/7/2012 14:40

Booze + young people = STUPID

– Patrick, Belfast, 03/7/2012 14:35

drunks have absolutely demolished the charm of Newquay – it is a disgusting no go zone now

– kv10, uk, 03/7/2012 14:30

The fact he was drunk probably saved him though – he fell like a rag doll.

Idiot!

He should now take this opportunity to thank God for sparing his fragile life and he should also repent from leading such a heathen life style..
