That takes the expression of being "totally lit on a kite" to a whole new level.

I can't believe ABC news picked that up. Vilano is my spot, there's about 5-6 regulars out there and that day I was driving over the ditch and saw a couple kites I didn't recognize.

Wind was SE 18+, really a great day on the water. I went to check it and saw a strong storm line just to the west (typical Florida summer) and just had a feeling it was a bad idea so I just chilled on the couch.

Poor dude really got lit up! Glad to see he's ok.
