Leaping dolphin lands on boat and breaks woman's ankles
Husband fights to help both wife and 350lb animal, heading to southern California harbor before setting dolphin free
A dolphin leaped on to a boat in southern California, crashing into a woman and breaking both her ankles.
Chrissie Frickman was boating with her husband and two children on 21 June when a pod of dolphins swam alongside them. One of the animals jumped on the vessel, knocking Frickman over and landing on her legs, the Orange County Register reported.
Her husband, Dirk, pulled her out and called authorities as he headed toward an Orange County harbor. While he steered, he splashed water on the 350lb dolphin to keep it alive as it thrashed around and bled from some cuts.
