I had never even thought about getting lines tangled on the helmet...

I admit to the mixed bag of feelings I have about helmets.. I read on some post on another forum where someone said your head was probably in more danger on your car ride to the beach than it was while kiting ... and I can see the truth in that.

I just starting rotations and have yet to really *crash* on a kite where I am not at least in partial control.. I assume once I start getting turned around is where I am going to start paying the price...

I know that Dan got his hand snagged on a depower strap when the kite dropped and suddenly found itself downwind and powered.. took him for a one-armed ride in the water before he was able to break free. Now imagine a snagged line on a helmet... damn.. never thought of that occuring.

*something to think about for certain....*
