Windsurfer Out Of Control!! Hits Tree, Parked Car
<snip>

BERLIN (Reuters) - Gusts of wind propelled a German windsurfer from a Baltic Sea beach into a tree and -- after he climbed down -- 10 yards further into a parked car, police said on Wednesday.

The 25 year-old had just finished riding the waves and was still attached to his board by the security strap when a gust of wind caught his sail and blew him into the tree.

When a bystander helped the man down from the tree a second gust carried the windsurfer straight into the nearby parked car.

2. Hey Gunter STEP 1: undo the security strap
STEP 2: if you didn't do it before make sure you undo the strap once you are up in the tree

STEP 3: if you still haven't unattached it.....BAM!

Shisse!!!
