It has been a year since I took my fear of heights by the horns and jumped off a cliff in Hawaii and ended up with a broken ankle and a ruined trip. For those of you who don’t know the story I thought an anniversary re-cap was in order.
The Scene of the Accident:
Kipu Falls: A little gem hidden in the Kauai jungle, full of fun with rope swinging and cliff jumping.

The Activity:
Cliff Jumping: The line for the rope swing was just a little too long for our impatient selves.
The Mistake:
Not looking down first: Fear of heights led to a quick jump so as to not look like a baby.
The Aftermath: hitting a rock only 5' under the water.
The Bruise and Swelling:
The X-Ray:
The Cast on the Beach: the one and only thing that should never be allowed.
The Surgery: two permanent 2" long screws later.
Really..who breaks their ankel in Hawaii?!? Honestly!!
