A great photograph and story for Friday, from reading the article I'm unsure if the Belfast mayor was meant to be jumping over a woman dressed as a giant Tomato or even why it was a good idea. Only reasoning it gave was 'the photographers thought it would be a good idea'
Whatever the reason, the Belfast city council worker has been paid a settlement of £24,000 for a slipped disc after Jim Rodgers hit her head with his knee when trying to jump over her.
"Mr Rodgers said he was confident he could have made the vault.
He said: "I'm very fit and look after myself, but it was just one of those unfortunate things." "-BBC
