Just saw this on kiteforum.* It is a pretty interesting speed kiting clip of a record attempt with a nasty wipeout at the end. The guy was around 50 kts. at the time of the wipeout on a speed sailing course (shallow, fast with ripples - no waves). I understand all he messed up were two sprained fingers.

Wiping out at half that speed can feel almost as bad at times. Speed vs. impressions, so 50 kts. may feel like a 100 kt. wipeout? Brave folks hitting the high speeds.
