A British holidaymaker has proved the importance of taking out holiday insurance after a stunt left him needing reconstructive surgery.
Macaulay Burke flew to Altinkum in Turkey with nine other family members for a week-long holiday at a five star resort, and they decided to enjoy a beach-hopping boat trip around the coast of Didim on July 19.
Macaulay, 28, decided a dip in the sea was in order and went to backflip off the middle deck – but before he could land in the water he says a sudden wave caused the boat to jolt, and he smashed into the side of it.
