I am not trying to promote kiting at night. After all there are real hazards and in some respects they are higher than in daylight as you point out. At the same time, I don't think that is what people focus on. They think sharks and all unknown, vague dark stuff out there. At least that is what they tell me.
What are the odds?
To date, zero for shark and night fatalities to my knowledge.
Avoidable injury absent helmets and impact vests and ignoring proper wx planning substantial. Although there is no magical protective qualities in these objects but they could make a difference.
Fear is good, it promotes survival. Fear offset by logical precautions, training and awareness in response to actual hazards is far better.
