So, I will be the dummy and say, that big crack on the front of his skull is not supposed to be there? Correct?

That's a tough break, especially with his family watching the incident, hope he heals soon! Keep us posted on how things progress.

wow that's a serious fracture. The nose on the Rickter is much thicker than skull

I wish him a speedy recovery ! I know some people think it's not cool to wear a helmet and yes it should be the riders choice but if you are pushing yourself at all I think it's a good idea to wear one .

That is scary! I dont feel comfortable riding without one after a big failed flip in the surf popped my eardrum.

 

[tor*p*do]

Bet he has one heck of a headache!

Mr De Villiers is considered the only jetski rider in New Zealand able to do back flips on flat water. The trick is the signature move of his performances.

This can't be right?
