When you release a kite to it's leash,

you surrender control.

Totally.

You roll over, go belly-up and take a free ride.

The kite now controls you.

lol.

Upon releasing,

if for some reason the kite doesn't depower 100%,

you are freakin toast.

You know something, they often don't depower the kite 100%.

There might be twists or wraps in the lines, all kinds of stuff can screw up.

Death-drags kill people.

The INDUSTRY needs to think ...and improve ... and re-invent kite management.
