FEARLESS teens have been filmed plunging 65ft from a perilous cliff known as Dead Man's Cove where one man jumped to his death last year.
New footage shows the daredevils risking their lives to cool off during the weekend's warm weather by "tombstoning" from the notorious spot in Plymouth, Devon.

The scenes were filmed just six months after dad-of-three Vincent Wagstaff died from multiple injuries jumping from the same place.
The area surrounding the sea wall is known by locals as Dead Man's Cove and thrill-seekers from across the country flock to throw themselves into the waters below.
The deadly craze returns every year with the warm weather despite repeated warnings from the coastguard.
After the footage emerged, the Maritime & Coastguard Agency said: "Jumping from piers, cliffs, rocks or other structures into the sea can be very dangerous.
"The depth of the water can dramatically change with the tide, and what was a deep pool at lunchtime might be a shallow puddle by teatime.
"You don't know what hazards may be lurking under the surface until you are hurt or worse.
"The shock of cold water may make it difficult to swim to safety and strong currents can quickly sweep people away."
Vincent, 39, fell to his death last October after attempting to jump from a cliff into the sea.
His brother Peter Allen called for diving boards to be reinstated on Plymouth Hoe.
He said the boards, which were taken down in 2010, would help prevent further tragedies.
He said: "I don't know why they took down the diving boards. People want the rush. That's how they could get it."
He added that he would like to see additional bollards or railings to make it harder for people to jump from the clifftop.
Although Vincent's death is the only one in Plymouth so far, other tombstoners have seriously injured themselves taking part in the extreme hobby.
In July 2010, teenager Ben Thompson was left paralysed when he broke his neck in three places jumping from an eight-foot wall at the same site in Plymouth.
Two years earlier Steven Andrews, 25, was paralysed when he fell 20ft from a cliff into three feet of water at nearby Whitsand Bay.
His first words after the accident were: "I'm paralysed mum, I want to die."
