A woman suffered 'immediate paralysis' after she leapt into shallow water over the weekend.

The Okaloosa County Sheriff's Office reported on Sunday that a woman jumped feet first from an anchored pontoon into 'very shallow water' in Choctawhatchee Bay near the sea wall.

She immediately lost feeling in her lower extremities, authorities say, but remained alert and conscious.
