A Saudi youth was rescued by the Coast Guard after he jumped into the sea from the King Fahd Causeway in Al-Khobar. The man was on the causeway along with his friends. The story goes that one of the friends of the adventurer bet SR5,000 that no one would jump from the highest point in the bridge, and the young man without giving a second thought, jumped from the bridge to win the bet. Apparently the bet was made in jest as no one thought that anyone would attempt to jump from the bridge. The friends of the youth immediately informed the Coast Guard who rushed to the scene and rescued the man from the sea. Rescue team officials say it was a miracle that the man survived the dive.
