Hello everyone,

I am new here and am looking into getting into KiteSurfing. On this forum I have noticed numerous posts of accidents where people were hurt by lofting onto land.

I have never handled any equipment so I am not familiar with how KiteSurfing gear works, but I must ask, why didn't these individuals simply release themselves from the kite?

Is doing so a difficult task? Can this quick release easily fail? Feedback is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Dave
