How did that major crash happen? I was unclear on that except that his buggy landed on top of him.

what I understood the buggy and himself got lifted into the air and then droped head first.

If you take a close look at the buggys in the film you will see that the kite is attached to the buggy. Unless you are freestyling, Big time NO NO!!!
I do understand why they did this (same direction all day long puts huge stress on your hip) but they saw the result of what can happen.

Seriously OW :o:o And then they went back to flying just a few days later and the guy had broken three bones in his face? That's an addiction, no doubt about it :roll:
