Murdoc ask me to do a poll on this questions.

Very interesting indeed!

For 4 line setups: the leash is directly attached to one line


depending on conditions:
maybe sometimes you want to practise a lot, then you do suicide, if the conditions are safe, but normally you use a dorect leash.

i use suicide generally all the time (except over 26knots) as i don't have 5th and can't be bothered undoing my lines all the time... i kite in onshore winds 24/7

leash to chicken loop,but i have a 5th above the trim strap if i want it, and a front line leash that by-passes the 5th.

you can never have too much redundency.

Suicide all time, kite 90% of the times in onshore wind.

Toby,

Could someone define (drawings or pictures would be best) what a
suicide leash is?
