The horrifying video shows Jordan Holgerson, 16, standing above Moulton Falls on the Lewis River in Yacolt, Washington, with her friends gathered behind her.  
'No, I won't go in,' Jordan can be heard telling her friends as they try to pressure her to jump off the bridge.
She tells her friends 'no' a second time in the video, but the group still rallies to get her to leap. 
Then, suddenly, one man asks 'Ready?' and a female friend is seen shoving Jordan off the bridge.

'Oh, that's so f****d,' someone can be heard saying off-camera. 
Jordan, speaking from her hospital bed, revealed that Tuesday was her first time on the bridge. 
'In midair, I think I might have blacked out,' she told KGW8. 'But I was aware and awake when I hit the water.' 
Jordan said someone immediately swam out to rescue her after she hit the water. 
She was then rushed to PeaceHealth Southwest Washington Medical Center in Vancouver, Washington. 
Genelle Holgerson, the high school student's mother, said Jordan suffered five cracked ribs and internal injuries after she was pushed off the bridge on Tuesday.
Jordan also suffered a bruised esophagus, an injured trachea, air bubbles in her chest, and a punctured lung.

'She is lucky she is not paralyzed or dead,' Holgerson told Thoroughbred Daily News. 
'She is alert but in pain and is very tired. We're lucky she is going to recover and not have permanent injuries.'    
It remains unclear how long Jordan will have to be hospitalized.
Jordan said her friend has since said sorry, but that her apologies are not enough. 
'I could've died,' she said. 'It could've ended a lot worse, is what I'm thinking about.' 
Holgerson also revealed that the woman who pushed Jordan into the water is an adult.

'I'm very upset with her,' said the mother-of-four, who believes the woman should turn herself in. 'She is an adult, and I'm sure she should have known better.' 
Ashley Mahree, who posted the shocking clip to YouTube, also said she believes the woman who pushed Jordan should go to jail.
'This looks to be almost criminal...this could have easily taken a life,' Mahree wrote in the YouTube description. 
'I think this girl needs to be held accountable in some way.' 
Clark County Fire Chief Ben Peeler confirmed it is illegal to jump from the bridge.
The Clark County Sheriff's Office is currently investigating the incident.

  2. If you do not want to get pushed off a bridge stand BEHIND the railing. Yes IMO pushing someone off a bridge is certainly an assault.
