..... ok, we didn't even get them out of the garage, and he fell off, sort of!

He was up on the walk-board between the two skis, and the garage door was shut at the time (I'm outside but heard the commotion about to take place!).

He decided he was going to test his acrobatic skills and (try to) jump from the front of the walk-board, over the front left of the frame, to the garage floor.

Simple, right?

Well, he jumped and the crotch of his shorts got caught on the handle of the left ski's hand crank. When it caught him, he flipped over and hit the floor on his right elbow, while hanging off the hand crank handle, by his shorts. While flipping through the air, his upper leg caught the teeth of the crank. (I'm glad he didn't bust his head open! :ohnoes:)

He then up-righted himself, while still hanging on the handle, and unmounted himself.

He ripped the crap out of his shorts. He said his "boys" are ok. :jester: Also bent the heck out of the crank handle.

I took these right after it happened (after I stopped laughing) and now he is bruising up pretty good on his arm and leg. :( I told him "It will buff out" and got a not so nice look. :dunno:

It looks like just scratches, but the arm one actually is pretty deep. He wants to grab the super-glue but I won't let him.

It surprisingly only ended with property damage. Neither of the idiots were hurt but one of the skis is totaled. Cracked the valve cover and the handle bars are gone and the seats torn into 5 pieces. The other one (airborne one) has fiberglass damage on the bottom mostly
