That is a good reminder and something people easily forget about (who own SS kites).sflinux wrote:.... One good thing about the newer slingshot bars is they have "oh shit" handles on each side of the bar. So even if you accidentally hooked one incorrectly, the other one on the other side of the bar will still work. I like redundant safety systems. ....
Panchito, could you expand on this? It looked to me like the new Profire bar basically negated the use of the Surefire spreader, but it sounds like you are using them together. Has the leash from the Surefire spreader changed?panchito wrote:Yes. the new 5th line ends at a wave grenade ping where you attach your safety leash, also the new 06 bar comes with a quick release surefire bungee leash with a wire gate beaner.....better safetytoddjb123 wrote:On the '06 Turbo Diesel the leash connects to a point on the center line below the bar.

Not sure about the '06 Fuels, Octanes, etc.
I have '04/'05 kites and religiously double check that hookup every time I go out and it still scares the piss out of me that in haste I may connect to the wrong eyelet...just one of the things on my mental checklist. (lines clear, outside lines to trailing edge, leash connected to correct eyelit, surefire hook tested and engaged, cold beer in cooler, launcher knows to not release kite until I give thumbs up, etc...)
