At 2.06pm on the 16 January 2010 North Wales Police requested Beaumaris RNLI lifeboat attend a report of a person jumping from Britannia Bridge.
The volunteer crew at Beaumaris lifeboat station swiftly launched its new Atlantic 85 inshore lifeboat, but in the meantime the casualty was recovered by a swift water training instructor who happened to be working nearby. The RNLI lifeboat continued to help and put two crew members ashore to assist the RAF rescue helicopter in winching the casualty on board who was then taken to Ysbyty Gwynedd.
