People will always find a way to not use the safety system.pmaggie wrote:I'm happy you didn't get hurt!
Anyway, another "good" example of what I use to say: muscle memory of the QR, experience and so on are all good things but sometimes they just don't work. It's time for a device that is able to istantly kill the kite, no matter how. Now, as usual, now several posts will explain how to avoid this, will underline the mistakes of the rider etc. Here in Italy we call this "il senno di poi", that means "the cleverness of the day after".
In reality this is impractical and not a good idea, you will have little or no control of sheeting and if a gust hits or the kite pulls there is a good chance that you will not let go.vkngktr wrote:Do NOT hook in when self launching your kite!
Well, in italian the meaning is slightly different: it means that the day after it's very easy to give advices and explanations. The difficult thing is surviving the nightmare the very moment you're living it...kas911 wrote:"il senno di poi" well in Denamark we call it "efterrationalisering" That means try to understand the event and what happened so hopefully no one else will end up in this crappy mess
Actually he did, even better, he pushed it all the way out at the stopper (see 4:25) with straight arms so it would not turn the kite even if dragged.dimip wrote:why since I see next to kite another guy that could assist you try by yourself.
clearly you don't know how to do it... and when you mess up, you don't let the bar, but you are fully sheet in? nothing would have happened. instead you through yourself over the bar and tangle the lines...
I want go in the argument to quick release... but why not to just let the bar go???
