BEND, Ore. (KTVZ) -- An important reminder from the Bend Park and Recreation District: Bridge jumping is not a harmless summer activity-- and it's extremely dangerous. 

Already this summer, the district says its seen more jumpers than ever.

Bend Parks and Rec says this year’s low water levels and drought conditions make bridge jumping even more risky.

What often seems to be a fun jump can quickly turn into a serious injury—or worse.
