JACKSONPORT, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) — A woman was injured after jumping off a cliff at Cave Point Park Monday, requiring a response from multiple agencies.
The woman hurt her ankle jumping into the water, and could not get up the shoreline cliffs. A rescue boat from Jacksonport Department recovered the woman at the shore and took her to a waiting ambulance at a boat landing, said Aaron LaClair, with Door County Emergency Services.
The U.S. Coast Guard was also dispatched, although the woman was transported before it could arrive, according to a USGC spokesman.
While jumping off the cliff is popular, it can be quite dangerous, and authorities urge against it. Fortunately, there were not strong waves on Monday, LeClair said.
Others continued jumping off the cliff later in the day, a FOX 11 photojournalist observed.
