Man Killed in Kite Surfing Accident
A 29-year-old Bulgarian man was killed in a kite surfing accident in a bay near Torri I-Abjad in Armier last November 18.
According to the police, the victim, who lives in Malta, was preparing to practice kite surfing at about 3 p.m. when the wind blasted off, catching his kite and slamming him into a nearby tree.
Barely having time to recover from the impact, another strong wind picked him up again and slammed him onto the metal of a nearby room.
Although an ambulance immediately rushed to the site, sources said that he had lost a lot of blood in the accident. He still underwent surgery, but died during the operation,
The man was described initially as a paraglider. However, Henry Rota, a paragliding instructor, said that this sport is not practiced at that spot but from higher ground.
Meanwhile, Magistrate Lawrence Quintano is heading an inquiry.
