Windsurf? Tropical Storm? SURE!

[J double R]

Rather than seek shelter, a kite surfer in Florida thought he'd have a little fun with Tropical Storm Fay. It didn't work out, as he slammed into a building near the beach.


Idiot.

I saw this on CNN and about laughed my tail off. I feel bad for the guy, but it only reinforces the old saying... "The supid shall be punished".

[Hurley]

what an idiot. And now EMS has to deal with him instead of helping where they might be needed more.

I guess he valued his kite over his own safety. Must suck to be him.

Heh that sucks. When I was living in RI, I used to love when tropical storms and hurricanes blew off the coast - made for some awesome surf for surfing and bodyboarding

Does the song, "If Your Gonna Be Dumb You Gotta Be Tough" come to mind?

 

[oscarluvr]

it is very difficult to comment on stupidity

Is it just me or does most self inflicted pain begin with a thought something like this..."I betcha I could...." Never works out for me either!!
