4.2.2. suicide mode
important: north kiteboarding recommends using only the standard safety mode
because it permits completely depowering the kite. north does not recommend
using the suicide mode at any time since this mode makes it impossible to com-
pletely 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 consequences and bear responsibility for all resulting damages!
4.2.2.1. setting up the suicide mode
1.
The metal ring (suicide ring) at the iron heart iii is attached to the red safety line and
the safety leash is hooked into the little eyelet of the suicide ring. additionally, the
chicken loop runs through the large eye of the suicide ring.
2.
if you let go of the bar and iron heart iii 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 com-
pletely depowered. The kite will always retain a considerable pull.
important: you must be aware of the fact that in such a situation, the iron heart is
out of your reach can therefore not be released.
