A 22-year-old man from New Jersey, Jacob Fleig, is in intensive care after a nearly 100-foot cliff jump into the sea at Fiordo di Furore on Italy’s Amalfi Coast. The incident leaves him critically injured, with reports saying he is fighting for his life in Salerno.
Multiple outlets identify Fleig as being from Berlin Township in Camden County and describe the location as a vacation hot spot known for dramatic cliffs. One report also links the trip to a personal milestone, saying he had proposed to his fiancée on the vacation shortly before the accident. Other coverage focuses more narrowly on the fall and the severity of his injuries, rather than the circumstances surrounding the trip.
