Drunk, Reckless, and Dangerous: The Tourist Who Jumped Off Mostar’s Old Bridge Could Have Killed Kids!
A wild incident in Mostar has set social media on fire. A tourist, heavily intoxicated, decided to jump off the famous Old Bridge without any prior training or permission. To make matters worse, he jumped right near a boat carrying children around five years old! If luck hadn’t been on their side, this could have ended in tragedy.
How did this happen?
Lorens Listo, a veteran jumper and president of the jumpers’ club, witnessed the event firsthand. Around noon, the tourist entered the jumpers’ club and asked if he could jump. The rules are clear: no one is allowed to jump without prior training and safety measures. The tourist refused to undergo training and went to a local café where he drank alcohol all day. When he saw the jumpers preparing to leave, he jumped without warning, fully clothed, near a boat with children.
The locals’ reaction was fierce!
After the jump, local swimmers and residents verbally and physically attacked him. The tourist received several blows, but the jumpers intervened and stopped further violence. Later, he realized his mistake, apologized, and admitted he didn’t understand how dangerous his act was.
Why is this a problem?
Jumping off the Old Bridge is a tradition and symbol of Mostar, but it is extremely risky. Professional jumpers undergo training and have safety measures. Tourists jumping without training endanger themselves and others. In previous years, there have been fatalities and serious injuries due to irresponsible jumping.
What do authorities and jumpers say?
Jumpers call for increased police presence and high fines for irresponsible tourists. Police have announced they will take measures, but no official reports have been filed yet. A sign in English has been placed on the bridge warning against jumping without training.
Tourist’s identity revealed
He is Swiss Luca Bont, known for high-altitude jumps he posts on social media.
What can we learn?
This incident is a warning that tradition and safety must not be compromised by reckless behavior. Mostar is a tourist city that welcomes everyone, but rules must be followed. Jumping off the Old Bridge is not a game, and consequences can be tragic.
