You might consider putting pads on the umbrella too... I don't think 661 has started making pole pads yet, but forward this to them and they might
start a new line of gear!

I wonder if the insurance companies look at these videos? Could this be part of the reason we have a hard time getting insurance for events? Sorry
about hijacking the thread.

but actually kites are way safer than umbrellas! no safety mechanisms on that umbrella that i could see, not even an umbrella killer!
clearly insurance companies will see that this is not at all representative of the sort of behavior and level of risk-taking normally condoned by the
kite community.
:wee:
fixed bridles, flying static, been two years now... ??? folks must be wondering....
sting 1.7, dp power 2.5, crossfire 3.2, ace 5, blade iv 6.5, ace 8, ace 12...
also a couple of arcs, 12 syn and 12 phanny, but i\'m not yet up to speed on them.
gotta agree w/ Jon on this one. This sort of blatant unsafe behaviour could be used as fodder against us. Insurance cos. generally frown upon
impalation. Which WILL happen ,if people keep on being irresponsible kiters, with no foresight of the impending doom lurking behind the scenes for
our sport.
Sure hope that person isn't in the NAPKRA.
Everyone needs to think before posting vids of unsafe acts that could be good cause to ban us.
