The kites’ power can pull you from it unexpectedly and with great force.

Handle flying lines carefully

extremely dangerous and can cause serious injuries or death.

Never use worn lines. A breaking line can cause serious injuries or death.
z
Always check the lines for knots. Knots dramatically reduce the stability of the lines.

If lines are tangled, stay clear of them until the kite is safely on the ground. An unsecured kite can
start up on its own and pose a serious risk.
z
Make absolutely certain that neither you nor anybody else is between the control bar and the kite
when the kite is in use.
