I read in one posting, that the guy, who had to let go of his bar, was called with a very hurting word.
Please be very careful with your words.
It has not been reported that the guy who was doing a trick or handle pass ignoring someone in downwind and then missed it and had to let go. As to my information Silkes kite flew into his kite as he was standing at the beach and then it got tangeled and in a reflex he let the bar go.
It doesn't chance the situation that Silke is dead and no safety leash by him and no quick release by her has been used.

REMARK by ADMIN:
the word has been removed in all postings since it was mentioned on wrong assumptions and doesn't help anyone, neither Silke nor the rider who has to live with this.
I'm wishing him to be able to go on with his life as he did before!
