well there is a police investigation too in order to rule out foul play, I think the police know right now what happened they must have interviewed everyone. Just sit tight nobody speculate we'll know in a month or two what caused the accident. As always my condolences to the friends and family.CaptainArgh wrote:

The STFU guidance is odd for a kite accident. So maybe there is suspicion of foul play. ?edt wrote:well there is a police investigation too in order to rule out foul play, I think the police know right now what happened they must have interviewed everyone.

Okay, this makes sense then. Still, when this has happened before the kite/bar/board is often shown to another kiter so they can see if there are any obvious signs of trouble (gear failure, safety status, tangles.) I guess if he's particularly wealthy there is a lawsuit risk against the manufacturer by the insurance company...those vultures will go after anybody they can to avoid paying out of their own pockets.echo wrote:...and unfortunately no one can say whether his safety was deployed as only his family and the police on the scene were there to find him, it's unknown whether they know anything about kiteboarding or are willing to release any of that to the public...

Yes, YES, and YES !!!SpaceRacer wrote: ...
Kiting with others SAFELY truly needs to be like mountain climbing or back country skiing, where you respect the elements, count on each other, communicate, "pair up for safety", wait for the slow guy, etc., etc. Otherwise not kiting alone is just a false safety net which in my opinion is more dangerous than kiting alone.
