Roanoke Island ,N.C. | For anyone who thought my fall on to the beach during the Tybee (see avatar)was nasty check out the Red Bull capsize vid on Oman Sail's Facebook page. Scroll down to videos. Watch the skipper, that had to leave a mark. http://www.facebook.com/pages/Oman-Sail/279770832327

If a man is to be obsessed by something.... I suppose a boat is as good as anything... perhaps a bit better than most.

| Worse one I ever had was I left the plugs out on 14 Turbo. Went back to try to put them in and did a slow roll over backwards. It went turtle and I had to take to side stay off while underwater. REAL PITA.....I go a lot of ribbing as we had to tow in in that way and it took 8 of us to flip in to drain.

South Carolina | Probably the worst part was the the way he landed I'm sure he got the wind solidly knocked out of him, then he slid into the water. That would not be a pleasant experience at all. I'm really surprised he didn't have any major injuries. That's a 20 foot fall.

That's a 20 foot fall. one tough hombre OSHA tells us fall protection must be provided at four feet in general industry, five feet in maritime and six feet in construction. Could have been fatal.

Roanoke Island ,N.C. | do they wear PFDs on those boats? Maybe impact vests or flak jackets would be more in order. The skipper is swimming for the boat right after the fall, so I guess he wasn't hurt too bad.

Naples, FL | Kinda looked like he landed pretty flat on that lower hull, which would spread the force of the fall over a bit more area than say, his head/shoulder area or his hip... Still, to have avoided major injury after what amounts to a 2 story drop is pretty unique
