View Full Version : Wind sailing against a wall
Has anybody heard how the guy down in Florida's doing? The one that was wind sailing While Faye was blowing in and slammed him against a building. Just curious last I heard he was critical but I haven't seen any follow ups on Fox news channel

Saw that. Ouch. Lesson no. 1: don't kiteboard in a tropical storm.

reports on his condition came out yesterday. He is still in the hospital but he has NO memory of the incident, which is a good thing. He is awake but as far as his specific injuries I don't know. I can assume there are some broken bones and head injuries.
I don't recall the specific city it happened in, but I bet if you search the web, that city's newspaper will have more info on him.
Good news is that he is conscience now.

yep. That he is.
why one would strap on a sail in 40 to 70 mph winds is just beyond me.
May others who *want* to do this same crap use that video as a small lesson that Mother Nature is THE boss.

2. Let go after the first impact. :rofl:
