G'day, long time no post so here goes,

I was just wondering if anyone has seen that video on the net where a guy gets towed by a jetski when there is no wind and they tow him up to like 100 feet and then he falls? I need a link if possible. i remember one of my mates showing it to me and i need to email it to a friend.

Cheers, Matty

if you search for this file wipeout.wmv it comes from kiteflix. The guy actually falls from a long way up.
I have a 4mb version on my PC

there is another one getting around were it is hard to see the jet ski and it looks a bit like he is doing a big jump

hey mate - no luck uploading it for some reason :S

www.kiteflix.com/wipeout.html is the site where this flick is, but kite flix isn't responding. Ian is still away for a few more days in the Bahamas, but once he's back I'm sure it'll all be sorted and you can d'load it

Kiteflix is back online

"Okay, here it is. This video contains the original footage of Neil Hutchinson falling over 100 feet which I believe is a kite height world record. We had been towing him into the air with a jetski when his shackle snapped. He lost his kite and plummeted towards what should have been a watery grave. The entire bay is shallow except for the one spot he landed. He survived with minor injuries. Filmed in Islamorada, Florida."

That's the direct link. Escaped without much more than coughing up blood and some initial injuries- Lucky guy !
