WINDYTON As a kid I remember going outside on high-wind days and seeing how far I could lean into the wind without falling over, and I would do it for hours.

Even now I love a good blustery day, but Im not sure how much I would love the wind if it deprived me of the essentials of life, just like it deprived the man in this video of a drink of water during high winds in Iceland.

No matter how he tries, taking a sip from his bottle of water is an impossibility. I mean, he can barely even keep his footing.

OK, so he positions himself to ensure he doesnt get a drink you know, for the comedy but that doesnt mean these Icelandic winds arent impressive as he slips and slides down a hill.

Theres no identifiable information on the exact speeds in this particular video, but you can be sure its above their average of 16 mph predicted for the next 10 days.

The only thing that would make this video better would be a little Benny Hill theme music. For as we all know, that iconic song brings everything to its comedic peak.
