Kitesurfer Thrown Into A Building By Tropical Storm Fay

FanIQ PSA: Don't Go Kitesurfing During A Tropical Storm
by Jon
8/20/08



Tropical Storm Fay is battering Florida as we speak, sending residents fleeing the storm's path. As always during these storms though, there will always be a few dumbasses who stay behind to go surfing and kite boarding, like this guy in Fort Lauderdale.

Yes, that's a person, and yes, that's him being flung into the side of a building as local news crews watch. The kiteboarder, 26-year-old Kevin Kearney, is in critical condition after the incident. A Darwin Award is pending.

Sure, these are fairly dangerous sports during any circumstances, but it takes a special level of intelligence to attempt to float in the air during a storm with 65 mph winds, which is near hurricane strength.

I don't think human beings are supposed to be airborn like that.

power kites are very dangerous in the best of times, they are strapped into a harness with an emergency release in case the flyer loses control....this guy is an idiot.......

This happened 20 minutes from me during the storm. I laughed when I saw it on the news and I laughed when I saw it again yesterday and again just now. The guy is still in critical condition.
