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.

4.3.1.4. 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!
