Kite Surfer Thrown into Building during Tropical Storm Fay
Sometimes you shake your head and ask why? This is a big reason why we still have injuries and deaths with Hurricanes and even Tropical Storms in the U.S. People don't listen.
Check out the video from from cbs4.com
FORT LAUDERDALE,Florida,August 18/08'Emergency officials have been warning South Floridians to seek shelter during Tropical Storm Fay but a man in Fort Lauderdale seeking some thrills on the rough surf didn't heed that warning and ended up in the hospital after being hurt in an astonishing kite boarding accident that was caught on camera.
A news crew was on Fort Lauderdale beach at A1A and east Las Olas Boulevard when a huge gust of wind from Fay blew down the beach and took the kite boarder by surprise. The kite boarder was harnessed into his sail when the wind violently picked him up and slammed him onto the sandy beach. Then, he was dragged across the sand before being lifted up into the air again and blown across the street where the wind slammed him into a building.
Witnesses ran to help the unidentified kite surfer who lay crumpled on the ground in pain.
Yikes
See you soon,
Brian

Darwin award?
You know, it is hard to feel empathy for a "genius" that chooses to do this. The only consolation his family may have is he is a candidate for a Darwin award if he dies.
