Athenkosi Mvane
Western Cape Communications Officer at
Groote Schuur Hospital Alaric Jacobs said they are expecting an increase this
year of cases of severe neck injuries due to diving incidents since this month
they have admitted four patients already.
Jacobs has more said at swimming pools or
beaches, divers should dive into the water feet first.
“With head first diving with stretched-out
arms or not, it is extremely risky; if they do it properly, diving accidents
can be prevented” he added.
