KNOW YOUR SAFETY
For complete safety-system information refer to the quick-start
guide that came with your Slingshot bar and line package or visit:
www.slingshotsports.com/qsg
Slingshot’s Compstick Guardian (below the bar) and Sentinel
(above the bar) control bars come with push-away safety release
systems. This system is simple, reliable and highly effective; when
used properly, activating the safety release will allow your kite to
depower completely as it flags-out on the safety line attached to
your kite leash.
Once activated, reassembling your safety system is quick and easy,
but it’s a very good idea to practice a few times on land so you are
comfortable doing it in the wind, water and waves.
For added safety, your Slingshot kite leash has a secondary safety
system. In the event that you need to completely disconnect
yourself from the kite, pull firmly on the padded yellow handle at the
end of the leash where it attaches to your harness (do not attach
the yellow end to the kite).
