A topic to poorly answer your question. Credit again to the Swampstorm and Kid Chrono duo:

Harima is in the air with Nakamura and he overhears something on Nakamura's radio that said Tsukamoto had fallen off the Tsuri Bridge(before this there was a picture of Temna on a bridge). Harima then overpowers Nakamura, grabs a parachute, and dives from the plane. He lands close to the spot he was aiming for.

On a different route it was Yakumo who fell in. But the bridge wasn't that high.

Harima misunderstanding Yakumo to be Tenma (again) is behind this, though I'm not sure how they ended up being handcuffed together. The RAW or a more detailed spoiler is necessary for that.

The fact is that many times KJ has showed chances for a great development of relations between the characters. I honestly hope this time there there will be one... I really appreciate the manga, which is my favorite, but also, I'm starting to get tired of always seeing the same line:

Harima and Yakumo/Eri advances a lot in their relationship, but Harima keeps being in a blind love for Tenma

Tenma keeps her love for Karasuma and nothing comes from that.

I'm looking forward for the moment where Harima will have to face the truth that Tenma loves Karasuma and vice-versa and learn to surpass that...

To be honest, I want him to be with Yakumo, but that's certainly my personal opinion... hehee... What matter most for me is to see a good water divisor in the story...

Bah, I want more time to process that spoiler, but I'm off to crash the MTV VMAs. [/brag]

I think we will see a little Deja-vu here :
1)Yakumo and Harima in ankward situation
2)Both of them are seen by everybody
3)Rumours spreads about Yakumo x Harima relationship
4)Hanai is pissed
5)Eri is pissed
6)Tenma again go out support Harima in this
7)Harima goes suicidal because (like always) Tenma misunderstood
Yakumo explains it was a misunderstanding (and there might be another Bloody Mary clash in meantime)

I, for the first time in this whole manga, don't care about Harima love-problems, but really want to see some Tenma x Karasuma action since without that the plot won't move a bit.

lol Poor Harima... I still wonder how he got back from Angola... and where did he get the handcuffs???

Harima really needs to get rid of those sunglasses I swear their confusing his vision if he constantly mixes up between Yakumo and Tenma...

I wonder if Yakumo will get a second chance at reading Harima's mind.

I don't know if Tenma will support harima this time... Has Harima and Eri Cleared up the misunderstanding at the hospital about Nakamaru?

If not Harima will get his "Monkey" nickname again.

Hmm, now a fairly different spoiler showed up at Wannabe. I'm waiting for the RAW and Townsocks before I think about this chapter any more.

Ah, it would suck if Kobayashi just copied the Play arc. I would only want to see Hanai pissed off again, because Hanai is awesome when he gets pissed off.

Analyzing the picture the pair seem to be in woodland area, and judging by the sparkles there might be water nearby. Looking at the map on chapter 238, I'm guessing that they are near the Yagami bridge or just south of it.

Yakumo's hair is flowing backwards, her left arm is flung forward with handcuffs attached, and in her right is her cellphone. Harima has his left arm wrapped around Yakumo's lower shoulder area, and his right is flung back with handcuffs attached.

My guess is that Harima escaped from the plane while Nakamura tried to subdue him (hence the handcuffs). I didn't see Yakumo, or any 1-D students, at the pre-walk meeting, so I guess that she might have seen Harima fall/parachute down from Sara's church which is south-east from the bridge. When she meet with Harima he turned on hige/idiot-mode and managed to get himself cuff'ed to Imoto-san. She was just about to call someone for help (Tenma?) and Harima yoinked her over to stop her.

...That's my guess after just seeing that one pic.

There's a more elaborate spoiler up now, pending translation.

From what I understand of it, Yakumo was dangling from the suspension bridge that forms a shortcut between the start and the third rest area. Tenma and Eri are at the northern bridge, just after the first rest area. As such, Harima has landed quite far away from his goal.

The handcuffs are from the plane, and I suspect that he used them to lift Yakumo up, thinking that it was Tenma.

Well, at least it seems that I got the area he landed correct, south of Yagami Bridge, west of Sara's Church. If the pair go to the third checkpoint from there (immediately to the southwest), then they will meet up with the rest of the class before midnight (probably around 11pm or something). I wonder if they'll get the handcuffs off by then?

Well, its good to see some good onigiri action(one of my fovourite factions). By the looks of it, we can foresee a misunderstanding in the next chapter.
