Geneva police are urging swimmers to be sensible and avoid jumping off the high bridges.

A man is in hospital after leaping off the 28-meter-high railway bridge over the Rhone at Jonction on Friday afternoon.

The 24-year-old is seriously injured.

Police say many are tempted as the videos are posted on social media. But they point out, not only is it dangerous, it’s also illegal.
