4.3.1.3 STANDARD SAFETY MODE
4.3.1.3.1. SETTING UP THE STANDARD SAFETY MODE
1. The metal ring (Suicide Ring) at the Iron Heart is only attached to the red safety line and has no
other connection to any other part of the system. The safety leash is hooked into the small eyelet
of the Suicide Ring.
2. If you let go of the bar and Iron Heart in this mode, it will slide up along the red safety line
towards the kite. The kite comes down safely and depowers on the red safety line.

4.3.1.3.1.2 RELEASING IN STANDARD SAFETY MODE WHILE HOOKED IN
1. To separate yourself from your kite in an emergency situation while you are hooked in, simply
push the red release grip at the Iron Heart away from your body.
2. This separates the connection between your harness hook and the bar. The bar and Iron Heart
slide along the red safety line towards the kite. The kite comes down safely and depowers on the
red safety line.

4.3.1.4. SUICIDE MODE
IMPORTANT: DUOTONE RECOMMENDS USING ONLY THE STANDARD SAFETY MODE BECAUSE IT
PERMITS COMPLETELY DEPOWERING THE KITE. DUOTONE DOES NOT RECOMMEND USING THE
SUICIDE MODE AT ANY TIME SINCE THIS MODE MAKES IT IMPOSSIBLE TO COMPLETELY DEPOWER
THE KITE IN CERTAIN SITUATIONS. THE SUICIDE MODE MAY ONLY BE USED BY VERY EXPERIENCED
RIDERS IF NECESSARY. RIDERS WHO USE THE SUICIDE MODE MUST BE AWARE OF THE CONSE-
QUENCES AND BEAR RESPONSIBILITY FOR ALL RESULTING DAMAGES!
4.3.1.4.1. SETTING UP THE SUICIDE MODE
1. The metal ring (Suicide Ring) at the Iron Heart is attached to the red safety line, and the safety
leash is hooked into the small loop of the Suicide Ring. Additionally, the Chicken Loop runs stra-
ight down the oval middle loop of the Suicide Ring.
2. If you let go of the bar and Iron Heart in this mode, the bar is unable to slide up along the red
safety line towards the kite. This means that the kite cannot be completely depowered. The kite
will always retain a considerable pull.
