#WipeoutWednesday horror show as Tom Forward a camera man from Oz dives for the bottom as the reef unloads on top of him… We definitely wouldn’t want to be in his shoes, or fins for that matter!
“It was only our crew out there that day, just one team towing and Tommy swimming alone,” says filmer Cian Salmon of Thridlink Productions. “Zac Haynes got the wave before the one in the clip. When we turned around, we saw Tommy about to take an 18-footer on the head.
“He reckons he dove down and grabbed onto the bottom, felt his ears blow out, then came up seeing stars,” continues Salmon. “It’s only about 3 meters deep on the reef out there. It could have been a lot worse.”
