Tourist 'nearly dies' after ignoring sign and tumbling down waterfall

A festivalgoer has urged visitors to heed safety signs after he "nearly died" falling 20ft from a waterfall at Dockber Farm near Sawley, Lancashire.

Matt Horsfall, 39, ignored warnings while attending the Beat-Herder music festival, slipping from the rocks after posing for a video.

He suffered a bruised back and lasting wrist pain but managed to walk away.

Horsfall admitted he had been drinking and now warns others: "Signs are for your own safety—please take note of them."
