After a dramatic fall from his flyboard the day prior, Franky Zapata, a Frenchman, tweeted “I’m Fine” on Sunday. He was demonstrating his flying skateboard at a demonstration at Lake Biscarrosse in the Landes. “Finally, a good Sunday rest. Monday it starts all over again!” According to local media witnesses, the Marseillais fell 15 meters from the lake’s surface.

The 43-year old sportsman writes, “Thanks to the rescuers. I have ensured serious. I didn’t even drink the cup.” He is well-known for crossing the English Channel on his bike in August 2019. He jokingly said that the accident reminded him that humans are not birds, and that gravity wins if we’re not exceptional.
