Just found this on http://www.wetasschronicles.com (tim zim's website for those of you that read "The Race")

Reminded me of this thread. Story of a kiteboarder that hit the beach, and kept on going :P

Quote
I sailed through the air, over the sand, over the Esplanade Reserve, over some trees and my front lawn to whack into the side of my house. I slammed into the eaves, fell into a gate and came to rest on the ground below, a distance of approximately 70m from where I started...A summary of my injuries: 5 fractures to pelvis; 6 ribs fractured in 15 places; 2 fractures to my shoulder; A dislocated shoulder; A punctured lung; Severe concussion and shock; Severe bruising on my left side.


Big ole no thanks on the kites
