Can I get someones opinion on kite killers,( supposedly used to depower in the event of your handles flying out of your hands )
I just got a new traction kite, 4m square and don't want it flying away from me if it gets too much.

i once let go of a 3m kite in a gust of 8bft
while sliding a 360 with the buggy ..
but the kite flew about 50m till it hit the ground, about 300m till i got it.

Or use a C-Quad when buggying, they flutter to the ground and you don't have to chase it for 300 meters. And they depower a lot nicer too.

Hi
I use killers that I made myself. A large loop for my wrists and a small loop that I tie to the brake lines ( loosley around the actual lines) when I let go the brakes are pulled on so far the kite cannot fly backwards or forwards.
