Most likely to drop out of the sky?
Pully jam and death spiral?
QR malfunction?
Line breakage?
Anyone stopped using a certain kite cause of a bad experience or near miss?

The most dangerous kite on the market is the one with an inexperienced or over confident pilot flying it. You have to understand the limits and flying characteristics of any kite. There is no better safety feature than a well prepared aware pilot. Distance from anything other than the water is your best friend when it comes to safety.

Very True Zen.
But as you read this site, certain lines of thought seem to emerge.
Like Switchblade pully bars jam, Waroo bridals break, Cautions hindinberg, etc. etc. etc. I was wondering if these were accepted trends, or one-off situations?

don't start pimping your brand and bashing others, there is already enough of that on this forum...
as zen already said it depends on the pilot flying and the conditions in which you go out...

You're right Kosh.
A straight-up discussion of rider's experiences with different kite's quirks is probably impossible here...
The hell was I thinkin' ?!
