An experienced Dorset kitesurfer has told 麻豆社 Radio Solent he鈥檚 鈥渓ucky to be alive鈥� after an horrific accident left him with a fractured skull. Will Wade from Bovington lost control of his kite as he slipped while preparing to launch from a grassy area off Portland Harbour. The army officer was left unconscious after he was propelled into the air, then dragged along a stony beach.
Will told 麻豆社 Radio Solent reporter Laurence Herdman that he wasn't wearing a helmet and paid tribute to several quick-thinking first responders who helped to save his life before he was airlifted to the trauma unit at Southampton Hospital. Remarkably, Will was back at work a week later, but won't return to the water or any form of contact sport for another six months
