It sounds to me like te rider who lost is kite is liable for the injuries to the other rider.
I hope he has good insurance (liability insurance)
It is unfortunate that the injured rider did not have health insurance. I'm sure there will be a lawsuit from this.
I HAVE BEEN PREACHING FOR YEARS THAT EVERY KITER MUST HAVE $1 MILLION IN LIABILITY.
It only costs about $400 yearly. How much was your last kite?
PS... If anyone is reckless (or even accidental) and injures me so that I cannot feed my family I promise you that I will sue for the maximum recoverable amount including punitive. Also, I expect to be sued if I do harm to others. That's why I have insurance.
The act of being a kiter, which can obviously be a dangerous sport, and NOT carrying liability insurance is negligent in itself.
