Update on Scottish tourist who smashed head off harbour wall in Ibiza boat stunt gone wrong
An influencer has tracked down a lad who brutally smacked his chin on the concrete marina of San Antonio, Ibiza, while messing about on a boat.
Scottish tourist Lewis was filmed by his friends hauling himself onto a fancy yacht docked on the harbour, but his problems began when he tried to get off again.
Walking along the gangplank, which was suspended in the air and not secured to dry land, his friends told him to jump.
He ignored them, and the gangplank tipped into the sea, sending the lad's chin smashing into the harbour.

For a very scary moment in the video, he's out of shot as his friends ask if he's alright, before he clambers back onto shore as if nothing has happened.
The whole thing was filmed by social media influencer Levi Pedro, who sought Lewis out on the popular party island soon after, keen to see the damage he'd done to himself.
Somewhat miraculously, though, the young holidaymaker seemed perfectly well apart from a gash under his chin.
"We are here in Ibiza and I've just come across this boy who was trying to do something - a very, very crazy act," Levi told his thousands of followers.
"He's been seeing it online, some people have been doing it.
"Some of you have been asking me, 'Is he okay, is he doing okay, is everything fine?' So today I wanted to find out. I tried texting him and finally I got a response from him," he explained.
Tracked down at one of Ibiza's many clubs, Lewis seemed amused to find Levi on his tail. They laughed and fist-bumped each other.
As for how the Scotsman was feeling, he said: "I'm good, mate! The boy is fine. It's just a wee cut!"
Lewis then tilted his head upward to reveal the angry red mark across the bottom of his chin.
How this guy didn't end up in hospital at the very least in beyond us; people don't usually walk away from such moments even conscious, never mind ready to continue drinking with their pals.
Naturally, those who watched it all unfold on social media couldn't wrap their heads around the fact he'd come away mostly unscathed from the accident.
"How did this guy survive?" read one comment.
Another person asked: "How did he come up with the same jawline?"
"Bro is made of iron, happy for him", "This mf survived his own death" and "Jaw like Mike Tyson" added a few more shocked viewers.
Let's hope nobody else tries this dangerous stunt...
