US holidaymaker miraculously survives after smashing into jagged rocks during 40ft cliff dive
This is the moment a holidaymaker smashed into jagged rocks during a 40ft cliff dive leaving her fighting for her life - but miraculously survived.
Jamie Brotsky, 29, joined fellow backpackers to jump from high rocks into the sea in the Liguria region of Italy.
But the backpacker "hesitated" and didn't leap out far enough - causing her to repeatedly smash into the rockface before she plummeted into the water.
The heart-stopping accident was captured on camera by another traveller.
Pre-school teacher Jamie shattered both heels and fractured a vertebra in her spine, and medics spent nine hours in theatre battling to save her left foot which "split" in half.
Her family forked out $20,000 to fly her home to Boston, Massachusetts, USA, where her foot turned black thanks to an infection from the water,
It forced surgeons to perform a partial amputation - cutting away parts of her foot - and rebuild it using muscle and skin from her legs.
Miraculously, despite being warned she might never walk again, she has made a full recovery.
She even did a cliff jump in Hawaii recently.
Jamie, preschool teacher, from Boston, Massachusetts, USA, said: “I knew the minute I jumped that I’d made a mistake.
“I remember looking at my foot and it was completely destroyed.
"I didn't know if I'd walk again but I vowed to give it my all and try.
"I felt bless beyond belief to not have been paralysed or dead and this foot is just one reminder of that."
