I stumbled upon this today and I find it pretty hard to believe. To me it sounds more like an paragliding or parasailing accident?:o

Holy freaking crap! They got lofted up on top of a 40 story building? How is that even possible? That is insane... I really feel like that had to be a tandem paragliding accident, because I don't know how you can put two people on the same reasonably sized kite and loft them THAT high. Was this an old Slingshot Fuel or something? How could this even happen? I am baffled...

Yeah, they were tandem paragliding and crashed onto a building. The news got it's facts wrong. I only hope no kitesurfing bans followed as was the case in the UK when a kitesurfer hit a kid and they banned kite buggying at that beach.
