WARNING
Launching and flying a kite can be potentially dangerous, especially when you ignore basic
safety guidelines.
Always be extremely careful when using a kite.
Incorrect handling or misuse of a kite may cause serious injuries and/or death.
When using a kite, you are responsible for your own safety and that of others around you.
A kite can be dangerous for as long as the Safety-System hasn’t been deployed.
Never hesitate to use the Safety-System (you can’t ever use it too early or not enough,
only too little or too late).
Never use a kite prior to professional instruction by a certified kite surfing school.
For trained inflatable-kite users, a proper introduction into the FLYSURFER-System is
essential (thoroughly read this manual).
You can find competent FLYSURFER-schools under: www.FLYSURFER.de

Never launch a kite during thunderstorms, in stormy conditions or before gustfronts.
The risk of injury increases over-proportionally with the wind strength, the gustiness,
with suddenly increasing or completely onshore wind.
Check the weather conditions and choose the right size of kite, a kite that’s too big can
be very dangerous.
Lines under tension can cut like a knife. Never touch the lines unless the kite is properly
secured on the ground.
Only use a kite with a fully functioning Safety-System, wear a helmet and impact vest.
Always check the current condition of your equipment, especially wear and tear parts
(depowerloop, pulleys and lines) as they are very important for a safe and
controlled flying. Never launch a kite that has any weakened or
worn parts.
