With all the concern for safety which reaches a peak whenever an accident occurs, I can't believe there is no sticky thread for safety here on the premier site for Kiteboarding.

So here goes, I'll start it off; if you don't like the way I've done this, then feel free to start a democratically decided format, the important thing is that there is a central source of safety information.

Rules:

Only genuine comments/discussions/recommendations
Try to limit the banter
No crap stirring
