Your lines snap at 30-40 ft with a foil strapped on your feet ?
How deep does the water need to be to land without hitting bottom if you land feet first with a race foil?
Should you land on your feet or on your butt ??

Re: What happens if ...
I used to do that when a foot slips out of the strap accidentally while jumping.
One time after kicking off the board I landed in between the foil and the board with the board on it’s side. Could have decapitated me with the wing tip !!!

Re: What happens if ...
these thoughts have also gone through my mind,,, the foil on its side with the sharp wings pointing up is a very scary thought
kicking off a twin tip was fairly easy,, i have never kicked off a foil yet. doubt if it would go as well but it's something to try
