OMG Those pictures are frightening Mike. What did you get hit with?...looks like a very nasty but clean cut at least. No wind any way, so what is a couple of weeks now.

Get well soon.

managed to break my right hand punching some bloke who snatched my wallet! Got my wallet back but maay as well given him the damn thing cause surgery, xrays and a plastic split cost a little more than $50 out of the wallet. Im off for 6 weeks from kiting!!! AND I CANT WORK! writing at uni should be interesting...
Anyone tried wiping their arse with their left hand? Handlepasses port tack should be easy after this

Yo Kiterdan,

I know a kiter who fell from a crash breaking both wrists. Yes he had to get mum to come and wipe his bum for him! Jees, does humiliation come at any higher price?

Nasty. And as for the poor person with 3 out of 4 limbs in plaster in one go...grim. I did similar a few years back - couldn't move anything (including lungs, i was on a respirator for ages), and had almost a year of lying flat out to think about not being such a ****ing IDIOT ever again. Forget getting mum to wipe my arse..she was too busy telling me not to be such a ****ing IDIOT - and trying to figure out how to get a roast down a tube. The worst thing was that about a month earlier my brother was in a car crash and munted his head - very badly. He was just out of hospital and then I went in...between me and my bro we clocked up over two months in intensive care in 6 months. We get frequent flyer miles in our family

Needless to say, Mum seriously disapproves of the kitesurfing, and has never even seen me do it...

OUCH - that looks disgustingly painful.
