"I jumped.  It didn't hurt at all.  I didn't hit the bottom.  I just swam.  I thought there would be authorities there, but there weren't," he said.

Police said it’s illegal to jump off a bridge, and if they had seen Pasztor, they would have arrested him for disorderly conduct.

“We would strongly advise against anyone jumping off a bridge,” said Sgt. John Fisher.

Pasztor said his friends have done it in the past, and he wanted to jump off on a night he would always remember.
