There is a gal that rides in the spot we ride that uses an Oceanus reel
leash. I have told her for the year we have known her to get rid of the
thing and drag back to her board. Yesterday she decided to not use it
anymore. Unfortunately, it was after she broke out most of her front
teeth. She fell, got dragged down wind with her back to the kite, came
up for a breath, and her board caught up to her and hit her in the
mouth. Full damage is fractured upper jaw, many stitches inside her
mouth, front upper teeth pushed up into the roof of her mouth, 2 lower
teeth broken off...in short her teeth look like she is from Arkansas.
She spent an hour with an oral surgeon yesterday, and goes back to see
him Monday. She obviously has some extensive dental work to be done. Oh
and she did have the 1 meter extension line on her board.
Board leashes should only be used in extreme needs situations. IMHO.
even de kern van de zaak vertaalt :
meisje valt ,kite trekt haar downwind met haar rug naar de kite
zek komt voor adem happen en krijgt het board recht in haar mond
bovenkaak gebroken , veel keer genaaid in haar mond voorste boventanden in gehemelte en onderste tanden afgebroken
ze hebben een uur aan orale chirurgie gedaan om haar terug in orde te krijgen
DUS! : voordat we weer van die topics krijgen over leaches
leer bodydraggen en laat zo'n ding weg , een helm beschermt je gezicht ook niet
alvast sterkte voor de getroffene , moet geen deugd hebben gedaan
