VIDEO: The moment a drunken lad jumps off a trampoline and breaks his back
THIS is the moment a drunken partygoer broke his back jumping out of a tree on to a trampoline.
Reckless Jordan Adlard, 26, climbed up the oak during a family barbecue before leaping 20ft from a branch.
He bounced off the trampoline into a wooden fence and hit the ground hard.
Shocked relatives rushed to see if he was hurt but labourer Jordan laughed it off, unaware of the seriousness of his injuries.
I didn’t think my back was broken because I was able to get up and move around
He even played football the next day and it was eight days before he finally went to hospital for an X-ray.
Doctors at the Royal Cornwall Hospital revealed he had suffered a compression fracture in his spine.
Jordan, of Helston, Cornwall, was told his back could have been permanently damaged had he waited much longer to seek help.
He said: “I was eyeing up the jump at the barbecue and the more I drank the more I wanted to do it.
“Lots of the kids were doing front flips and I wanted to better them so I decided to climb up the tree and jump off.
"I was tipsy but it was quite painful.
"I nearly cried.
"When I hit the floor everyone went quiet but I managed to get up and continue drinking and enjoying the barbecue.
“I didn’t think my back was broken because I was able to get up and move around.

"I even did some break- dancing later on.”
His fall at last Sunday’s party was caught on camera by girlfriend Nyssa Smith, 25.
Jordan, who expects to be off work for 10 weeks, added: “It was a stupid thing to do but you live and learn.
"You’d have to pay me a lot of money to do it again.”
