Oct 24: The IJSBA is very sad to report that Larry Rippenkroeger has been seriously injured on the set on Die Hard 4. Larry suffered a 25 foot fall from a scaffolding and sustained two broken arms, a skull fracture, fractured ribs, a punctured lung, and other injuries. 

Reports indicate that all treatments have been successful so far and that the skull fracture has not produced intracranial swelling -which is a very good sign. He is in the company of his family and girlfriend during treatment.

Larry Rippenkroeger has been one of the heroes of this sport. He was instrumental in the growth of IJSBA racing into a prestigious activity. Larry has been a mentor to thousands of PWC enthusiasts. He was working on the set of Die Hard 4 where he serves as Bruce Willis’ stunt double. Larry was recently inducted into the first annual IJSBA hall of fame.
