Best of luck to your nephew in his recovery. That's a devastating injury to occur at any age.

Since you've posted here and given the tone of your story and requests, I'm curious if his family is searching around for people/entities to blame, or more likely sue, for an adult jumping off a 60' cliff face into the water? Or, alternatively, working towards some restriction or notice on the area. I'm sure some will think this comes across wrong which is not my intent, but you must admit that's how it sounds.

There have been injuries and laughter from jumpers there since probably soon after the lake filled, and the overwhelming majority of people have looked at it and simply said "not for me." It's a choice, and it's not subtle in its potential consequences to anyone who looks at it.
