What can I say... Tommy Vercetti had it right, especially when it comes to this guy.

PALMETTO, Florida (AP) -- Mark Giorgio figured a 50-foot plunge was worth $20. Giorgio, 47, was counting his money and walking across the U.S. 41 bridge over the Manatee River Monday when a $20 bill blew out of his hand and flew over the rail.

He followed. And plummeted 50 feet into the river. Then he swam about 100 yards to fish the bill from the water.

"I got my money back, hell yeah," Giorgio told the Sarasota Herald-Tribune. "Twenty bucks is a lot of money when you're broke."

He was fished from the water by a passing Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission officer.

Giorgio, who said he was already suffering from a broken collarbone, refused treatment for cuts and scrapes he suffered in the fall.

 
50 feet into a river? Eh, could be worse. I'd jump 20 feet into a deep body of water and not have any problems with it. 50 feet would be a bit scarier though.
 
Well if you didn't eat yesterday or the day before that 20 bucks = several meals = Jump off a bridge for. I doubt this guy was that hard up though.
 
A cousin of mine broke his back a couple weeks ago jumping off a 60' cliff. Apparently he landed flat on his ass on the water, crushing one vertebrae & fracturing a couple more.

Even deep water can be a problem from sufficient height.

Not really. It's a fairly common thing, at least in Tennessee, to go cliff diving at heights exceeding 50 feet. I don't see why this was newsworthy.
