4.3.1.4.2. RELEASING IN SUICIDE MODE WHILE HOOKED IN
1. In order to separate yourself from the kite in an emergency situation while hooked in, simply
push the red release grip at the Iron Heart away from your body.
2. This will separate the connection between your harness hook and the bar. The Suicide Ring
automatically comes off the chicken loop.
3. The bar and Iron Heart will slide along the red safety line towards the kite. The kite comes down
safely and depowers on the red safety line

CAUTION: IN THE CASE THAT YOUR SUICIDE RING BECOMES IMPAIRED DUE TO A HARD CRASH OR
SOMETHING SIMILAR, IT MUST BE REPLACED IMMEDIATELY. DO NOT TRY AND BEND IT BACK INTO
SHAPE. A DEFORMED RING CAN CAUSE FAILURE.
THE FRONT PART OF THE SUICIDE RING IS CURVED SLIGHTLY DOWNWARDS. WHEN USING THE
SUICIDE FEATURE, PAY ATTENTION THAT THE CURVE REMAINS POINTING DOWNWARDS AND
THAT THE SAFETY LINE RUNS PROPERLY THROUGH THE SUICIDE RING.

4.3.2. SAFETY LEASH
IMPORTANT: THE SAFETY LEASH MUST BE TIED TO THE SUICIDE RING BEFORE YOU LAUNCH THE
KITE. ALWAYS REMEMBER THAT YOUR SAFETY LEASH IS THE LAST CONNECTION BETWEEN YOU
AND YOUR KITE. ONLY RELEASE IT IN A CASE OF EXTREME EMERGENCY AND REMEMBER THAT
AN UNCONTROLLED KITE IS A GREAT DANGER FOR OTHER INDIVIDUALS ON LAND AND ON THE
WATER.
