Cruise jumper

A flying leap from a Bahamas-bound vessel into the Atlantic Ocean resulted in a collapsed lung and minor hypothermia for a 35-year-old Orlando man.

The Coast Guard says his lung was probably injured during the fall, ''When you fall from a very high distance and hit the water, it's very hard. It's like hitting cement,'' said Luis Diaz, a Coast Guard spokesman.
