A tourist has urged visitors to obey safety signs after he "nearly died" when he fell down a 20ft waterfall.<br /><br />Matt Horsfall, 39, scaled the rocks forming the waterfall at Dockber Farm near Sawley, Lancashire, when he was attending the Beat-Herder music festival on site.<br /><br />He ignored a 'do not enter' sign which warned of "sharp rocks" and said the "water is poison" to pose for a video.<br /><br />But he tumbled off when his foot slipped - leaving him with unable to move for a few minutes, a bruised back and a wrist which still causes him pain.<br /><br />Matt, who lives nearby and who works in hospitality, said: "I nearly died.<br /><br />"It was very painful and I was really worried but luckily I could walk around a few minutes later.<br /><br />"I really ought to have gone to hospital though - my wrist still twinges.<br /><br />"I'd had a few drinks and thought it was funny but it really wasn't.<br /><br />"Signs are for your own safety: please take note of them."<br /><br />Matt took a tumble on July 21.
