BUT, this just proves that these kite guys are just plain certifiable (which doesn't bother me, either). Like the "sport" isn't dangerous enough in open water or near a beach, they actually do this in a 20-30 foot wide TRENCH!!!???
How do you spell Darwin?

Please..... What a load of crap. They're in a trench, surrounded by nice soft sand. If they wad up at 65mph and get drug through the sand for a bit, its not that big a deal. I've done more than double that speed down the pavement on my butt.
Its hitting something solid you gotta worry about.
