Britain's luckiest teenager has survived after falling 100FT off a cliff - then being bitten by a venomous snake at the bottom. Brock Leach, 14, tumbled over a cliff edge and bounced off outcroppings and rocks during his descent - before landing on a ledge. But as he tried to clamber to safety before the tide came in Brock suddenly felt a sharp pain in the hand he'd been using to help pull himself along. He was horrified to discover he had been bitten by an adder - the only native venomous snake in the UK.
The horrific fall was witnessed by his brother Josh, 16, who rushed to his aid and tried to get him to higher ground. Brock couldn't go any further so Josh scrabbled to the top of the cliff and frantically flagged down some passers-by who called for help.
His arm had already swollen to three times its normal size and he was flown to hospital where he was given anti-venom for the adder bite and kept in overnight. He also suffered a fractured pelvis and severe bruising from the initial fall.

Just wiki'd the snake. It apparently isn't a very dangerous snake. Most bites don't require hospitalization. It just really sucks.

Man struck 7 different times by lightning, one time after he was stuck he had to fight off a Bear.
