Madison Police say 2 teens were ticketed last week after they jumped 60 feet into Lake Monona from the roof of the Monona Terrace.

Nineteen year olds, Henry Martin and Joseph Howell from Monona jumped from the top of the Terrace into Lake Monona on August 9th. Monona Terrace security cameras caught the men in the act and security officers called police with a description of the boats that picked the men up. Dane County Sheriff's Department Lakes Patrol Deputies were able to locate the boat and the two jumpers.

Monona Terrace's Manager of Community and Public Relations, Fran Puleo, says she's very concerned about the incident. She says it's a major safety risk. "It's a very long way down and with the concern of wind and that distance, it's very likely they could miss," said Fran Puleo.

Police ticketed the men for trespassing. The find is $424 for each individual. The Monona Terrace has signs posted on the upper deck warning patrons to not jump. However, Monona Terrace says it plans to work with the city and law enforcement to make the sanctions even stricter for those who disobey the signs and leap into the lake.

The teens indicated they got the idea for the stunt from a friend's My Space page.

Police say young people jumping from the roof is an ongoing problem.
