Man Chasing YouTube Stardom Fractures Skull Jumping Off Pennybacker Bridge in Austin
Saa Fomba recorded his stupid stunt at Austin’s Pennybacker Bridge, posting it to his YouTube channel after spending several days in the hospital.
Fomba said before the jump, ‘“hopefully this video will motivate you to chase after your dreams.I don’t see no fun in living a normal life.”
A boater pulled Fomba from the water and he is later seen lying on the shore until first responders arrive.
“...confirmed with Austin-Travis County EMS that on Monday, November 23rd, medics responded to an "unknown" call at Plaza on the Lake at 2:34p.m, following the jump.
There, they located a male subject lying on the ground and repeatedly clutching his head.
Officials declared the subject a trauma alert based on the height of the fall, and transported him to St. David's South Austin Medical Center.”
