And to think, he will be allowed to pro-create.

Seriously though, last I heard he was still in critical condition. Hopefully he makes it and has a learned a valuable lesson.

If he wasn't so badly hurt, it would be sooo funny. Now, it's just sad.

And he had the chance to let go.....but held on. Oh well.

Kiteboarders usually have a harness that attaches to the bar with a quick release snap, but it might not be quick enough for the speed that this happened at. Ouch.
