Came in for a solo land today. Stuffed up the "yank the front lines then pull top line" technique so I dumped to safety.

I heard a twang and then watched my kite bugger off over the dunes and land on a fence.
Luckily no damage to kite or passers by.

The through bar elastisized line had snapped. It didn't look that worn either.

Morrell of the story.

Replace your elastersized through bar safety line more often than you expect!..
