    Was a stupid move on his part. Inexperienced kiter + extreme conditions (storm bands from TS/tornado warnings) + squalls = near death lofting. People like him give the sport a bad name. I went out yesterday after the storm moved through and we had a very safe session. Nuking winds and unpredictable conditions. It can be done safely. Just crazy that the TV crew happen to be at that spot setting up. Not many of these cases get caught on camera. Heres another that was caught on camera many years ago. Record height for a kite.
