They had a massive recall after several people DIED and/or were PARALYZED "piloting" the kite tube....(although in all fairness to the manufacturers, the "accidents" were almost exclusively the result of improperly towing the device...always WAY TOO FAST,"so we can really see Johnny do a major wipeout, a superhero header...so then the good ol' CPSC steps in, issues an unsafe product RECALL, in order to protect us from ourselves...and so safe we pretend...thank you, CPSC)...Anyway....alas, I REALLY wanted to get ahold of one of those Sportstuff Kite Tubes, because you see I am a licensed pilot, and my driver understands speed restraint for safety, but no matter....They are gone forever, almost like they never really existed anywhere....because they are nowhere, not even on the squirreliest, most obscure, anarchist sponsored auction sites...nope....tsk tsk.
