Teen pushed off bridge almost 60 feet in the air: 'I might've fainted midair'

Incident Overview

A shocking incident in Washington State involved a 16-year-old girl, Jordan Holgersson, who was shoved off a bridge about 60 feet high into the water below.

According to the report, the video shows Holgersson hesitating before the jump, saying she was too scared to make the drop, but being pushed anyway. The crowd can be heard counting down as she falls and hits the water—prompting warnings that the fall could have been fatal.

Medical Update

Medical reporting states that she is now in the hospital with serious injuries, including:

• Punctured lungs
• Four broken ribs

Why the Location Is Dangerous

The segment explains that:

• Jumping from the bridge is illegal
• The water at this location is deep, but it is especially dangerous due to rocky shelves beneath the surface
• Those rocks significantly increase the likelihood of severe injury

It also notes that a man was reportedly injured at the same location just the previous year.
