Snapped the bugger bit above the ankle after a goofed slim chance 7m 25knts.
Im sooo happy I had 5 lines.
Straight away knew it was all bad and I swam/waded in then just layed there.
Till my mate and my girl saved me.

The kite was behaved - completely landed and depowered
I didnt need to think about it, just my leg.

Has anyone had the same experience with a Bow kite, It must be really painful.
Sorry to make another one of these threads but yeh...

Man, you described exactly what happened to me maybe a year ago and yeah I was on a bow.
I'd made a jump and by the time I realised I wasn't going to make it and tried to jettison the board I'd only managed to get one foot out leaving the board to lever my left foot inwards when I landed.

I was grateful to be able to let go of the bar to de-power and recompose before dragging back in on my board until a mate came and slung me over his shoulder! Turns out I'd fractured my "Fibula"? about 1 inch above the ankle and chipped my "Talar Domus"

There are way more bits and pieces in the ankle to go wrong then I realised but get ready for at least 6 weeks of kiteperving and taking photos of everybody else....my ex also thought me in a cast was a bit of a novelty...look on the bright side!

Some of my favourite sessions have been on C's but I was glad that it happened when I was on a bow.....you have my sympathy

Hey Mate, yeah I shattered my heel bone after kite looping a backroll accidently an my foot sliped out of the strap an landed in 1 foot of water on one leg at mega impact, that was 4 months and 14 days ago 7 pins an titanium strapping holding it all together.....still not back on the water .

The waroo was great I just let go the bar parked on its wingtip an no draging me at all, I was in the most pain I have ever felt in my whole life an could not move till mates helped, so I know how ya feel Mate.
Hope ya get back out there soon.....

thanx to all my mates and fug the rest of you without broken legs.
Its very hard to wipe my ass properly.

Yeh maybe I should have had bindings, used to ride them.
But sometimes for fun I like to leave the board and quickly put it back on before I land.

Think it was from twisting it. Dunno all happened very painfully fast.
Just went limp straight after with zero energy. Then started shaking like a black woman dancing. Very lucky I had my leash connected to where I had it. No energy to do anything else. But almost cry. But I didnt.

Just bottled a pilz that morning should be right in another 2.5 weeks. Wheat beer is ready.
