:eek:

I hadn't seen that! That guy was obviously smoking too much. I'm surprised he didn't get hurt.

actually in the end of the video you can see him lying on the ground on the pavement...... so he did get hurt.... the question is how badly.....

as far as what was he thinking????? I dont think there was to much thought involved in this at all.....

Of course, you all did notice the gender of the non-thinker in question? I think that pretty much explains it :lol:

It's possible he was thinking, "If I do this, maybe the video will go Viral!"

ok that cracked me up....... :lol::lol:

Thank God I wasn't the only one laughing. :devil:

I don't even really feel bad for him, just his own sheer stupidity. :dizzy:

I honestly have to say that I'm not surprised at all. We used to hit the surf along the Texas Gulf Coast anytime a massive storm was coming in. Thrill seekers are thrill seekers and as long as its not the eye of the storm, it is sometimes the only opportunity to catch decent wind or waves in those locations. He just got caught up in a bad wind current, but he'll be back doing it all again with his buddies. I'm sorry he got hurt, but isn't risk part of why they do it?

If you go to the beaches of the world when there is a good storm rolling in, whether tropical depression or hurricane or cyclone, someone will be surfing or wind surfing those waters up until the last possible minute. The stupid ones are the ones out in the water when the storm makes landfall. 6-24 hours in advance means great waves, man, great waves...wish I was still on the coast. Sigh. :lol:

I think the question should be "Was he thinking - at all?"

He did get hurt. Supposedly he's in critical condition. Idiot. :rolleyes:

he actually reminds me of my students at the U.
absolutely reckless
we get alot of snow here so what they do is they find a kid who has a SUV they pack the top with snow...... and then someone will lay on top of the packed snow.... another kid will then drive the car into a snow bank so the kid laying on the top of the vehicle shoots off of it like a missile into the snow bank....

I keep waiting for some kid to break their neck or really harm themselves...

thrill seeking is one thing..... but the other part is having no understanding of mortality.....

I saw it and I bet he is regretting it now. It looked like it hurt bad! I know he was stupid for trying it but man...I feel for the guy.

I second that

Ouch! I wonder how old he is.

Good god... If I knew a hurricane was coming - I'd be finding shelter - not trying to find thrills.
