Attaching a stop line to a buggy?

Do you guys ever attach your strop line directly to the buggy or is that considered a recipe for death?

Some do; others consider it a recipe for disaster and not necessarily for the kiter.

Is it possible to design for strength, if the designer doesn't really understand what strength is?

What you are speaking of is called a "hotwire", I do it all the time. And ,yes it can get you hurt ,if you can't pop your quick release in time. Do a PKF search for "hotwire".
