Now you can see how you can get seriously hurt.

If I am not mistaken the tube depicted was a manta ray, not a kite tube. These are meant to skip over the water and not fly high like a kite tube. Judging by the depicted speed in the video that boat was flying!!! With the manta ray you have to pull back on it with a good amount of strength to get it to pop up.
