Prism TENSOR - Handle Safety Systems; Quick Release

To use, secure the two wrist straps (kite killers) to your wrists before launch. To de-
power the kite, just let go of the handles and the kite will collapse and settle to the
ground
(see Fig. 3.a). To re-launch, simply pick up the handles and you’re ready to
fly again
(see Fig. 3.b).
WRIST STRAP RELEASE: In an emergency, if it is necessary to fully re-
lease from the kite, pull the red tabs on the wrist straps to disconnect from
the kite. Be sure that there is nobody downwind who could be injured by
a loose kite or its rigging.

Fig. 2.a: Using the Quick Release
In certain emergency situations it may be necessary to jettison the kite alto-
gether. To release yourself from the kite completely, grab the red plastic safety
stopper at the middle of the bar
(see Fig. 2.a) and push it away from you, discon-
necting the kite, bar and lines from your wrist leash. Be sure that there is nobody
downwind who could be injured by a loose kite or its rigging.
Reconnecting the Quick Release
To reconnect the quick release, insert the
cord loop through the webbing loop on the
wrist strap, then engage the steel trigger
back into the red plastic trigger housing as
shown (see Fig. 2.b).
