Ouch indeed...

Hurts just to watch...

Are you kidding! Ouch! I've caught hail riding a motorcycle, with a helmet, armor, and leather it still hurts when it hits anywhere but your head.

I've never seen hail on a lake before, I suppose it floats. that'd be kinda cool to see though. Just not be out in the middle of it in a dinky little boat.

I think I would've pulled my life jacket off and used it as a hat/helmet.

gold balls? yeah right!!

This is what landed in my back yard about a km from the club.

Same storm?

Sounds just they are sailing inside a pinball machine!
I had hail hit my eye once, not a pleasant experience.

same storm.. punched holes in my clay tiled roof..

If you fast-forward the video, they eventually pulled their harnesses up over their heads. At first I thought they were just getting numb when they stopped putting their hands over their heads...

OUCH! that's why i ALWAYS wear this when sailing

I've been caught out in a hailstorm before, it was a challenge but luckily not with "biblical" hailstones like these! Did these guys pick a fight with some bloke called Moses at the bar the night before or something?
