In demonstration in Biscarosse, Franky Zapata is injured with his flyboard

The scene captured by spectators is impressive.

We see Franky Zapata's flyboard go into a spin and begin a fall of about fifteen meters.

Fortunately more fear than harm for the “flying man”, transported in relative emergency to the hospital in Arcachon (Gironde), but who was above all shocked by this incident.

Strength to you Franky 🤞 pic.twitter.com/Blj61G7dfE
