"As for safety release I have multi options. Te fastest is I just loop my strop over the tops of my handles and I fly with my thumbs on top of the
handle to hold the strop in place. If (when) in trouble I just let go and the strop comes off. This is where killers come into play, Wright Donnie "
I am curious to try a strop, would there be any problem using mountaineering/caving sit harness with a loop of nylon webbing clipped in and then just
hooking it over the top of the handles as above..? (with kite killers on)
I don't have an open hook just biners but it seems like if i release the handles this should slide off??
ps hope to snowkite this winter, probably on a depower with bar, but wondered if a rig as above would work if i ever use this kite as a higher wind
kite? ( hornet 4m)
thanks so much,

Yup, did the same thing with some 1 inch web and my old Lynx harness on a twisted 'biner until I got hands on a proper seat harness with hook for
chicken loop.
