The annual Ascension Pier Jump was well supported, with many jumpers jumping and trying to stay airborne using various techniques, all of which failed. The expressions on many of the jumper’s faces changed dramatically after they had hit the water, the dread and trepidation became big beaming smiles. Even Finn joined in. They are all back views as none of the jumpers turned to smile for the camera and the cameraman also couldn’t fly.
