i got a question to all guys riding pro limit (waist) harnesses ('01 or '02):
sometimes when i ride, the harness opens after some time. then i have to land my kite using the safety and get it back together.
that happens sometimes - and then, i know it's better to get out of the water instantly.
it has come so far that i use a 'harness safety leash' (tied it together, so if it opens, i can go back or fix it without landing the kite.
my idea is that it depends on where the hook is - if it's too far on the left, the harness will open?
i've talked to some guys with '01 pro limits and some told me that it opens about twice per day, and some told me that theirs never opens.
i bought mine used from a friend who rode it 1 year without one single problem (and i've been @ the same spot most of the time and seen him - he'S not lying)
i think the chance that it somehow broke while he was using it last or me using it first is too little - so the fault has to be
me ...
what to do?
