Cabrinha has had a never fail push QR ( even if your hands have 7mm gloves on ) for at least 3 years now , since the Xbow I ( we are now at Xbow III ).
Cabby's QR releases instantly and the more the kite pulls , the push required to release stays the same. Super simple to put back together too

I think the problem with some of the current push away systems is that the CL separates from the bar.. so you loose the CL and you are out of luck for the rest of the day.
There are a few though that only release one side of the CL hoop, which I think is the way to go As far as I could tell though almost all of the push away systems are easy to reset in the water... but thats not a real big deal if the things doesn't constantly get released accidentally.

I really don't get why so many companies make these things so complicated.

OR You can also use the leash instead of the DD / QR combo, that leash has the identical QR as well ( basically two QR's )

tho i've never had to pull it while being dragged across land or similar, I have had to pull the Best 2007 bar release with an out of control looping kite and it was easy to grab and pull..it released smooth as silk..
there will always be the story of the rider that is in a situation where he/she cannot get to their QR.. but the approach needs to be simple. I am scared that with the push-out system i would knock up against it to easily.. i just have never tried it.

I am a little surprised a company that makes bars and lines (only) hasn't arisen out of all the companies trying to make a buck off of kiting.
Just make 4 or 5 different high quality bars (2 bars mainly) then with different choices on cleat or pull/pull, QR mechanism, etc. and put good line on them. Most kites are not bar specific anyway (Ozone is, but not many others). Must be that not much money can be made off of bars (?), people want the "matching bar" or that it's hard to buy kite only (new). Beats me. Still surprised by the lack of bar options. Anyway... just spewing stuff out today, bored I guess.
