[23video id="8487187" token="69cb91025141f0c3634bcbd0ec65b2d7" width="665" height="374"] The number of persons suffering spinal injuries as a result of cliff dives in Comino, during the past seven days, amounts to five. However, the number of those injured could be far larger with other cases reported across Malta and Gozo. Interviewed by TVM.com.mt, Consultant at the Emergency Department at Mater Dei, Dr Michael Spiteri explains that such diving goes against the body’s nature, and thus, injuries are expected when one dives from high altitude. The ages of the persons injured range from 14 to 25.
