Two steps to 'total safety' for Chickenloop riders prefering the 'always connected style':
<font color = red><b>1. Getting Rid of your Chickenloop (used several times):</b></font>
I mounted (welding cost me 10Euro in Munich) a snap shackle on the Hook. The chickenloop is connected via steel ring to the snap shackle/trigger snap and can be released with no ease. Kite flies away -> for safety line please refer to #2.
It looks almost like the product of solidkiteboard.com (but read point #2 before you ask me why I'm not using the solidkiteboard.com solution):

<font color = red><b>2. Getting Rid of your Harness/ safety line (luckily not needed so far but it feels better):</b></font>
I would suggest using a standard harness hook featuring a quick release. I'm using the Pro_limit hook on a waist harness and if you want to ged rid of your harness (incl. the safety line attached to the ring on the rotating swivel hook, see picture of #1), just pull the fabric strap the harness is flying away. Underneath the fabric strap is a metal pin which releases the hook from the right part of the harness. It cannot really be seen on the picture, because its unter the fabric, but it gives an idea:

PS: the harness never openend by accident so far (my old NorthSails harness did that)
