22-year-old man gets every ligament and tendon of his right knee torn after cliff diving

This is insane!

Ryan Szymanski, 22, who was a free-runner and gymnast before suffering from his shoulders' injury which had stopped him from the two activities, enjoys cliff jumping and diving now.

He seldom shared his diving video on the social platform. He said the worse situation happened to him was only bruises. However, in last May, he challenged to dive from a 34-meter high cliff located next to a mine in Vermont and his friends even counted down and cheer him by the side.

According to the video, Ryan can be seen as a little nervous when looking down at the water, but with encouragement from friends, he throws a stone into the water and leaped into it in seconds.

Ryan felt a terrible pain after falling into the water. “I thumbed up to the safety diver with a bright smile and swam to the shore. I thought I was stung or cramped," recalled Ryan.

He knew himself got severely injured only when he could move his right leg, with every ligament and tendon in the knee totally torn apart.

Ryan said he felt unrealistic when realizing his injuries. He thanked his friends for helping him stabilise his condition. He is now receiving treatment and said he deserved the result while he will respect nature in the future.

PARIS (AP) — Paris Saint-Germain defender Lucas Hernandez will have surgery after rupturing his left knee ACL, almost certainly ruling him out of playing for France at the European Championship.

Hernandez was injured on Wednesday night during the Champions League semifinal first leg against Borussia Dortmund, which PSG lost 1-0 in Germany.

PSG said he underwent a scan on Thursday and the 28-year-old Hernandez will undergo surgery in the coming days.

Euro 2024 takes place in Germany from June 14, and France coach Didier Deschamps names his squad on May 16.

Missing the tournament will be another bitter blow for Hernandez, who played just eight minutes at the 2022 World Cup after rupturing the ACL in his right knee in France's opening game against Australia.

Hernandez joined from Bayern Munich in the offseason and celebrated winning the league title with PSG last Sunday.
