I just read the short piece of interview Kevin gave from the beach in Miami from a link posted on Kiteforum. Seeing how quickly he is back out and about and ready to kite, I truly wonder what the real extent of his injuries were. Media presentation and other info that was provided on this site and others, led me to believe Kevin had spinal fractures and a fractured ankle. Interestingly, I have seen no crutches, no support brace (TSLO), nothing but a few bumps and scratches. I understand that he was put under an induced coma to keep him from combating physicians and staff due to his head injury, but the other injury claims appear invalid based on what I saw on GMA and the Inside Edition link from the other forum.
I know that I should be supportive of a fellow kiter, but I am finding it harder and harder to rationalize at this point. Sorry for the negativity, just a gut response.
