MANIAc bAR: ONE RELEAsE sETUP
18 - MANIAc MANUAL
ONE RELEASE
The “One Release” set-up is based on the simple principle that in
case of major danger, there should be one ultimate kite release and
kite will be completely detached from the rider. When choosing this
setup you have to be aware that when your activate your QR, your
kite will fly away. Make sure you don’t ride upwind from anyone
when activating the QR to avoid harming anyone downwind. “One
Release” can be ridden with the “Dingy Guy” or without It. Attach
safety leash to metal ring on the harness loop (where security pin
named “Dingy Guy” is attached). When you unhook and let go of the
bar, kite will depower the distance of the depower main line. If you
activate your quick release, you will be completely separated from
the kite. In certain circumstances, you may have time and choose to
grab the Safety Handle on the buffer while activating the QR which
will flag out the kite on one of the front lines.
HOW TO:
Attach your safety leash to the ring on the harness loop
(shown below) and your harness.
IMPORTANT:
Always attach clip (closest to red release) to
your harness so you can reach the release when needed.
