WARNING: This kite is equipped with safety systems to de-power the wing in an
emergency or dangerous situation. However these systems are not automatic;
they are passive and need to be deployed by the user. Be sure you fully under-
stand the safety systems before you fly. Always inspect and test your safety
systems before every use; they could save your life in an emergency.
The control bar safety system lets you let go of the bar to instantly de-power your
kite without losing the kite. Always inspect and test your safety systems before
flight
(see Fig. 1).
To use, attach the wrist strap to either wrist before flight. To de-power the kite in
flight, let go of the control bar with both hands at any time. The kite will partially
collapse and settle to the ground. Once the kite has landed, simply pick up the
bar and you’re ready to fly again. This method can also be used for an easy way
to land the kite directly downwind when finished flying.
