I'm phsically fit because I ride & race bicycles. Did you know that the chance for injury, sports related or not, is greatly increased for physically fit people. If I get hit by a car on my bike because I decided to ride on I-95, I'm sure I would get slammed on these posts also.

I hope he recovers well and continues to enjoy his sport. With a little more wisdom next time.

As Forest's mom says; "STUPID IS AS STUPID DOES"
Looks like like someone has screwed up the Darwin Awards.
He should have listened while he was growing up. "YOU DON'T FOOL WITH MOTHER NATURE."

hopefully, he will sue the city and recover some serious coin. there were no signs up in the immediate area, no officials present, and large concrete structures that posed danger. Remember folks, we only need to show a bit of negligence, so i hope he sues for 10 million.
You people and your law suits ruin it for everyone. Serious coin, what, off the backs of the taxpayers??

The forecast that afternoon was 20 knots...a blast for accomplished kite surfers. As the wind got beyond safe, the guy & his buds decided to stop...then an ACCIDENT happened.
I've got to agree with you there, I feel bad for this poor bloke. The fact that he's in critical condition combined with the senseless comments here is just downright sad.

The news this morning said he is out of critical condition and doing a little better. He is a lucky guy and if anything good comes out of this, it will be that other kite surfers think twice before they take on mother nature. She'll win every time.

im sorry, but this guy is an idiot. anyone who intentionally ignores weather warnings when there is a tropical storm brewing is just asking for trouble. kite surfers should know that when there is even a hint of bad weather, to get off the waves. idiot.

We get it. You are smarter than EVERYONE else and never made a mistake in your life and you walk on water and your shit don't stink. We get it. You good. Everyone bad.

Stop throwing around names like idiot since it takes one to know one, Zippy.

Hey,

"ALL" here.

Speak for your own psychotic self. People who kill small animals may have found it funny like you. It's called 'a sadist'. You are unstable and disturbed but that will come in handy when you are serving your term in prison. Just go to your happy place.

Look at all these misplaced comments about this young man, doing something foolish? How many of you were young at one time in your lifes. We all men/women have done stupid things in our younger lifes, luck was with us and we are alive to tell the now funny stories 20 years latter. Yea this man make a mistake, I glad he is still alive, and hope he makes it.
You know, that's a sobering thought. We've all apparently learned our lessons and can now preach safety, knowledge, foresight for all.
But yes, at 28, I was reckless, almost got killed on the water surfing, windsurfing (yes, windsurfing, not kitesurfing). There just were no cameras around. I learned a lot from those experiences.
Youth and foolish risk are an 'amalgam'.

Let's give him a break.

Cheers.

28 is now an acceptable age for young and foolish?

The bar gets lower and lower. Thanks for helping it get there.

Daily Horoscope for June 2

Gemini

You're in a warm-hearted and generous mood today, especially when dealing with loved ones and members of the family. You want to give them as much of your time as possible, and also to do anything else that will keep them happy. The only snag will come if you're trying to spread yourself too thin and you end up making promises that will be difficult, if not impossible, to keep. You may forget all about them but other people won't.
