Two 31-year-old British men have been injured, one seriously, after jumping into an empty pool in a holiday apartment complex in Calle Las Verónicas in Playa de Las Américas. After emergency services received a call out shortly after 1am last night, emergency services attended to find one of the men with a fractured skull and the other with ankle injuries. Both were taken by ambulance to Hospitén Sur while the national police investigate the incident. JA

shortly after 1am last night,

Natural selection at work.

Why do I not feel any sympathy for these poor gentlemen?

..into an empty pool ....while the national police investigate the incident.

I'm sure they will look into it thoroughly.

What amazes me is how they both hurt themselves.  Surely the second jumper should have realised not to jump when he heard the first one splat.  I guess they must have counted 1,2,3,... and jumped at the same time

Nah, the one with broken ankles jumped first, and shouted "hey, this is great, try bombing me!"

Come to think of it, they probably could not count that far.
