PL Backstrap Manual
Considering the stated bailout method, hope there isn't any long hair or bulky elbow pads involved.
Seem to recally Cheezy had one of these.

Funny Sam, I had to think twice about that myself. I never got the backstrap, but the safety handles instead.

My mistake..... were these the quick release handles? I think I got confused because they were originally meant to be used with the backstrap.
The description on the PowerKiteShop webpage:
| Quote: |
The Peter Lynn quick release grips are the first 2-line kite flying handle with a built-in safety release. The grips are for use in combination with a
back-strap. In normal use the backstrap supports the force of the kite, but-in case of panic - as soon as the kite flier lets go of the handles, they
will open up and release the flying lines. The pilot is safe and the kite will instantly drop to the ground.
