Yep, and for good measure we also added a "Total Release System"(white toggle) on the side of the Chickenloop too.
With this system you are totally disconnected from everything (Chickenloop and Handlepass-leash) in one move.

1st Safety Release pulls in both Frontlines and massively depowers the kite.

2nd Total Release System totally disconnect riders the from everything, incl. the Handlepass-Leash.

The bar also unspins the frontlines after rotations. :thumb:

Oh, I would not like to release this QR and get the full force of the pin in the palm of my hand. That is, I do not think there in an evergency will be time think and grab the 360 degree QR in a "safe" way exactly like on the picture! :-?

Thats the trick - its leashless (for hocked riders) you engage the safety while the chickenloop remains at the harness.

But for unhooked riding there is a attachement - not seen up to now
