Kite Surfing in a Tropical Storm is a Bad Idea, Seriously

This fellow will almost certainly win the Darwin Award for 2008, if he's fortunate enough to have survived the ordeal. (Although I think the award can be given posthumously, in which case, it's his to lose). He harnessed himself into a wind-kite during tropical storm Fay, and basically accelerated to no-telling how fast in about 2 seconds, appearing to slam head first into a building. He's now in critical condition. As the article reads, when there is a emergency storm warning, use common sense. And if common sense tells you to harnass yourself into a wind-kite during it, then ignore your common sense entirely.
