NEWS - Kevin Recovers!
Kevin Kearney underwent a violent lofting during a squall from Tropical Storm Fay early the evening of August 18, 2008. Images from this startling accident were captured by a TV news cameraman as Kevin was repeatedly lofted and flew overhead as rain pounded down. The rain spattered clip was carried by news services and websites worldwide. Many wondered how anyone could survive such a high speed flight into a hard landscape. Amazingly, Kevin has regained consciousness and is responding after just three days in hospital and has been transfered from the Intensive Care Unit. We hope this very rapid healing continues leading to his full recovery.
Best wishes to Kevin, his family and friends! Quote:

Final Kevin's update
Kevin was discharged yesterday from the hospital yesterday. He is such a go getter, lets hope we can keep his energy level low enough that he can rest and recover fully at home
Thanks again everyone, we will remember this event till the day we stop kiting. Finally, Kudos to Brad who mentions that Kevin's experience will keep future kiters safer. See you this fall !! Katy |

I'm sure that with that amazing footage there will be media wanting to do interviews with Kevin. I'm glad to hear he is doing better and recovering faster than anyone would expect.
