I know a member of the Kladivo family that was there when this accident occured. The only reason this kid lived was because one of the people in the boat was a paramedic. His aorta was acutally torn off, they really don't know how he made it to the operating room.

Looks like fun.

I've been seeing people using a kite/sale type thing that's attached to a windboard, not pulled by a boat. Seems a lot safer than this kite tube thingie, but it still looks like a pretty extreme ride.

This would be a heck of a lot more fun behind a car on I-90. At night. In a snowstorm. Naked.

The Kladivos are hanging on to their kite tube and mulling a lawsuit. But even Travis Kladivo hesitated when asked, were it not for the accident, if he would still be riding the kite tube. Of course they are pondering a lawsuit. Even though they didn't follow the safety guidelines provided, and accepted the use of the product....

What about skiers/snowboarders?
45 of them were killed during the 2005 season.

Young man is lucky to be alive, and will apparently come out of this with no permanent injuries. And yet, his family still is mulling a lawsuit.
Hope that his driver read all the warnings and obeyed the 20 mph speed limit....
