Recently I have taken up kitesurfing. It is kind of like windsurfing on steroids. The kites generate insane power, enough to launch you 20 feet high and glide for over 5 seconds is easily possible. It is also quite dangerous (there have been numerous fatalities) which adds to the adrenalin rush.
I have heard about a German lady who landed in the upper floor office of some high rise building.
I think they have some kind of safety feature now, am I right or not?
