Found this today (apologies if it's already been posted)
I love Anton's advice, his edging / jumping vids are quality.

Yeah, probably goes without saying though I'd imagine. If you're overpowered that's going to happen before you realise you're in trouble...maybe.
Great advice. You want to pull the QR before you get lofted, not after you are in the air!RickI wrote: ↑Mon Oct 15, 2018 6:17 pmIn waiting to find out if it is too strong, it is very easy to wait too long to act in the seconds it can take to build . . . we usually have no idea how strong it might be in advance. So, act early while you still can. . . act early before dangerous gusty winds arrive and pull the plug.

Nothing covers all possible eventualities, it's good to have a few ideas about what to do though to reduce the risk of panic / freeze.
