Interesting. You could use this as a normal quick release, but would need one for each bar (to preserve the push for release direction). Would be even lighter and more minimalitic thane the big Infexion quick release. - Tom
Would have imagined much higher breaking load, as all the metals parts are at least 3 mm I assume. And the plastic part doesn't take the whole load and should only be marginally be stressed. - Tom
Everyone is perfectly aware that a Kite is no Paraglider, yet, the weakpoint of the system is at the moment not the Kite, not the Lines and not the Bar!But keep in mind that kites are not designed to be aircraft like paragliders so do it at your own risk!
Don't get confused by all the different numbers, haha.Fightsurfer wrote: ↑Mon Aug 09, 2021 1:20 pmHey,
thanks for your reply.
Well, I am aware that the ISO 21853:2020 states the breaking load should be 3x the body weight of the User.
But it also states 2.4 - 3.6kN and just says what ever number comes first.
As they clearly have knowledge about the real world, they know no user in the world can weight 800kg. So I dont see why they came up with the 2400N requirement cap!
