My blade story:
When I had my little incident nearly 7 months ago, I'm not sure what was really at fault. I've come to terms with it being pilot error.
Wind was 15mph with gusts up to 25 ish, but the gusts were rare. Had the rage 2.5 out for a bit then got the blade III 4.9 out and jumped on the board. Had a great time zipping back and forth. Then I went for a turn, began flying the kite up the edge of the window to the zenith and bang! A good 40mph gust hit and I shot up into the air, people around me said I went well high and was still travelling at a good speed. Down came the landing and it went wrong, so I tried to go into an army roll.
Thought I had just dislocated my knee.... I had, but also destroyed my tibia at the knee end. Doctors told me it was one of the worst breaks they had ever seen.
2 months spent in wheelchair and a further 4 months on 2 crutches. Now only need the one crutch.
