If I was silly enough to go down in 90 knot winds with a GPS unit, strap myself into a kite and get dragged across water for 500m would it count?

Just wondering is all.

I would say their wind meter died... this happened a few back here in Sydney... the wind meter "got stuck" when a 135Km/h gust hit.

Gut luck sailing in a sustained 77knts though. my guess is you'd have problems getting out of the car let alone rigging your 2 sqm sail.
