Mindy you are just as dumb as he is. He caused the bad thing to happen to him. It's idiots like you that want to make it seem like it's happenstance.

"a broken rib, four fractures on bones next to his spine, and cuts and abrasions all over his body."

I don't think a helmet is going to help you, pal.

Poor guy... I'm quite certain that 'brain bruise' occurred long before he ever strapped that silly kite on his back. Too bad he didn't listen to the lifeguards.(I've yet to meet a brain-bruised lifeguard.) Meanwhile; I'm wondering why the hospital released him with all those injuries, still? He seems to remain a danger to himself and others.

Mindy, most of us aren’t not stupid enough to strap on a huge kite and go out tropical storm, get it?

He temporarily escaped the benign claws of evolution but eventually he'll do something else even more stupid.

Daily Horoscope for June 2

Pisces

Having to bow down to convention or limitations is enough to make you want to scream right now, and you'll do your utmost to rebel in any way you can. Be careful about this because you could easily get on the wrong side of someone who has power or authority over you. It feels as though you're battling with forces that want to keep you under control, and you don't like it one bit.
