The casualty, 29, had to be airlifted to hospital after plummeting down the steep rock race at Winspit, near Swanage, Dorset, yesterday afternoon (Saturday)

She broke both her legs and suffered nasty cuts after misjudging her leap into the water and smashing straight into a cluster of rocks.

Swanage Coastguard and lifeboat teams were called to rescue her shortly after 4.30pm.

Unable to move after breaking her legs, the Coastguard called for an air ambulance, who airlifted the woman to hospital for treatment.

She was taken to Poole Hospital and is understood to not have suffered serious or life-threatening injuries.
