They were lucky that the surf was small and there was a boat in the vicinity, otherwise they would have had to swim a half mile in cold water then make it in through the surf. Probably would have not been easy with a dislocated hip.

Gomez was injured after the ultralight in which he was a passenger crashed into the ocean near Playa Cerritos, Mexico.

Gomez, 51, was visiting Baja, Mexico, partly as a family vacation to escape the cold weather, and partly to design a new adventure for his company, Johnny G Adventures.

After a day of driving dune-buggies, Gomez decided to try the ultralight flight, even though his mother didn't want him to, he said. He took off from the beach with a pilot who seemed like “one of our total snowboard dudes who went down to Mexico to totally check out of life,” Gomez said.


:lol::lol:

that's a pretty funny story :lol:
