If this kite enthusiast didn’t want to end up with a painful injury, he should have stuck to extreme shark surfing.
We’re joking of course, because before watching this video we never imagined that anyone would be able to get hurt while kiting.
That’s exactly what happened to this poor guy named Jake, who hit the ground hard after his massive kite made him airborne.
We will warn you: the sound Jake makes when he hits the ground is a bit unsettling…
Here’s what the video’s uploader, mjamike, had to say on YouTube: “My buddy Jake caught a big gust and ended up landing hard.
“Nothing broken, but he hurt himself pretty bad. We won’t know what is actually wrong until the MRI later this week.
“He’s been doing this stuff for quite a few years so it isn’t like we were out there being complete morons.
“He wanted to get height which is why he runs in one direction and then cuts the kite in the opposite direction. We are pretty sure a second gust hit him mid air causing the rough fall.
“That’s what we get for leaving the house on a warm & windy Sunday in December.”
So there you have it, even kiting has its dangers.
