Huh? How is pushing the bar out to depower the kite (causing it to invert) a product of inexperience?

YES, it is. it is in the way and the amount that the bar is pushed out that causes it to invert. i.e. , flying fast depowered across the powerzone is almost 100% guarranty invert

You are saying one should ride a certain way (avoid depowering??)
|
YES, only depower to what is necessary to avoid getting lofted, but still keep a good amount of power on.

to avoid the fatal flaw of these kites?

Not a fatal flaw, laws of physice and rider error. All kites will invert if put under the same equivalent stress, i.e. inverse airflow pattern

What happens if you fall on a wave and accidentally let go of the bar??? The kite inverts and lofts you into the rocks?!

I doubt it, the kite will most likely be overhead when in the waves and not in the powerzone so most likely a bow will depower and slowly fall out of the sky in this scenario unless the bar is grabbed quickly
