Getting a bit off topic which is the danger of using SS rings in place of sliders or pulleys on a kite load-bearing bridle. I agree fairleads have a long history in sailing and using the Antal rings as pulleys or in a vang system may be off spec to the manufacturer.
Question: What are your thoughts on the SS slider when used in an active bridle system?

"They can be used for lazy jacks, furling line leads, fair leads . . . "
Doesn't sound new to me unless you are using them out of spec.
