Here you go men. Thats my head wound from kiting. I got lofted into a fence. the kite lines twisted around a fence post sent the kite into the power zone and powered the shiit out the kite. the 100mm fence post snapped like a carrot and smashed me in the forehead.
I blood was spurting out my head like a cheap spatter movie... then i started getting electric shocks... i'd landed in an electric fence??!
Funny thing is i was wearing a helmet.The post impacted me so hard it squashed the helmet foam flat and the helmet plastic split my head open.
Imagine what would of happened had i not been wearing a helmet.!
Dead. Simple.
Right. And why is it always stories like yours, that just make it a little more realistic - wearing a helmet in extreme sports is a GOOD IDEA.
Lot's of things can happen for everybody. Imagine a different scenario:
Since everybody got rid of board leashes there will be an ton of boards shooting out of the white water.
Guess who will get hit first - the guy without a helmet.
IT IS NOT ABOUT FASHION AND MIGHT LOOK UNCOOL, but it is smartest WITH A HELMET.

and you landed on an electric fence, please don't think bad of me, but I nearly just pissed myself laughing, damn was bad enough you actually hit the fence - and it was electric....am I just a sick bastard or does anyone else find this image amusing.
Please, please, not taking away from the horrific injury you had sustained and your point about wearing a helmet - I took all that in.......
but you got launched, teabagged into a fence, snapped the post with your forehead....an then proceeded to get electrocuted!! That's like something out of a movie man.
