Assumption and acceptance of risk

Kite powered sports can be very dangerous and physically demand-
ing. While powerkiting in its many forms is an exciting and fun sport, 
it can be highly dangerous for yourself and others around you, espe-
cially if the necessary safety precautions are not or only partly taken. 
The user of this PLKB product should understand that participating in 
kite powered sports can result in serious personal injury – and even 
death – to the user as well as to third parties. Before setting up and 
using this PLKB product you agree to assume and accept any risk of 
injury, whether known or unknown, to both yourself and any third par-
ties from using this PLKB product. To reduce these  risks, we strongly 
recommend you to stick to  the safety precautions listed in this PLKB 
user manual.
