According to our dictionary it is a pronominal usage.

tirarse de cabeza (from poolside, diving board) (Estados Unidos)

Me he tirado de cabeza de un puente. (I assume that the de cabeza means "headfirst".)

I don't think you need the 'head' bit (I'm not saying it's wrong either) - but I think 'me he tirado al agua de un puente' should be sufficient or you can use zambullirse to show that you were diving from a height. smile

I think you do need the "head" otherwise you simply jumped off the bridge, instead of dived. - gintar77, Jun 23, 2011
