This is what happens if you do
 
Are you kidding? That was probably one of the coolest looking things I've ever seen. Go ahead. Kite sail in a tropical storm. Please.
 
What an idiot...cleaning the gene pool.
 
So close to becoming a Darwin Award Winner, yet so far away. There's always next year!

Ha. What an idiot. These ''thrill seekers" know the risks going in. It's his own damn fault.
 
I would like to thank this man, and so many others like him, for providing me with so many hours of comedy.

The only part that worried me was the people coming to his aid. These people are idiots...and really have no business even being helped. Its a tropical storm, meaning that the area has been given a mandatory evacuation. Why are those evacuations put in place? Because authorities CANT help you quickly (see New Orleans). When people act stupid in the face of deadly weather, they should just lay there til the storm passes and then someone will come clean them up.
 
That's probably be fun until you hit you're head on something or drown in the ocean. :up:
 
Probably was a great adrenaline rush and crazy fun for a split second. It all went away once he saw that hospital bill.
 
I thought the story of Benjamin Franklin taught us not to sail kites during a storm.

Well, it taught me...
 
Just put on some padding, a helmet and your set. go find a hurricane. go nuts. You can fly all you want.
 
It's all fun and games until someone loses and eye or gets violently thrown airborne.
 
*****es, see back in my day, Broken leg, lost eye. It didn't matter. We all went through with it rright to the end.
 
Call me crazy, but I usually try and avoid broken bones and missing eyeballs, lol.

Just what I was thinking. I hope he hasnt bred yet.


Oh and I hope he has a speedy recovery. :o
 
He probably would have been alright, had he learned to let go when he was heading away from the beach and towards a building.
 
What a dumb ass. I do got to admit the video looked pretty cool. I considered going to the beach yesterday to catch some hurricane waves but I didn't have enough gas to go. :csad:
 
I'd love to be in a hurricane.

A safe place, where I can just watch the whole thing live.
