All,
Three times in recent sessions, twice after jumping and landing in the water, once after doing a 360 on hydrofoil and not quite making it all the way around, my chicken loop will just pop out of my hooked harness (Mystic X hardshell). And I have my chicken finger properly placed when I start my sessions.
Any ideas of why this would happen?? I hate it because my kite flags out and sometimes lines get twisted. I could side semi-suicide, but i would rather just figure out how to fix the problem. Any/all feedback is appreciated! Thanks.

I had this when riding blind...but with an older North bar.
Somehow the donkey dick got squeezed out. Not nice. Not riding blind anymore

Probably because the tension went away momentarily. Loop drops a bit and can sit right under the corner of the hook when the lines retension. It will then slide off the hook and pull the donkey dick with it, which just get folded in double by the forces.

Happens a lot with the 2020 bars. The stick is a little too short / flexible. Happens to me once every couple months or so on a crash. Stick positions itself perfectly to get pushed through, then with a hard crash it compresses the loop and pops everything off. I think they made the 2021 stick slightly longer to fix.
It happened with almost all the bars I've owned over the years. The 2020 north bars it happens more often.

Here you go, Potts. Problem is the stiffness of the enclosed center and flagout lines.
