Recently seen on eBay
Hopefully this is okay as there is no direct link to eBay or even a mention of the specific auction.
Saw this on one of the auction descriptions.
"This is an extremely powerful kite that generates a hell of a lot of lift and traction, if you are not a reasonably proficient flyer, stay away from
this! The <nn.nn> has caused a lot of people a lot of pain. I accept no responsibility for any fool buying this and flying beyond their
capabilities."
Kind of wondering if the notation was the result of an earlier sale.
I know of at least one retailer that has a similar disclaimer on a kite (that had seen returns from the overly optimistic) and another retailer that
requires a waiver on any kite 3M or larger.
ATB,
Sam

haha yep I though the same thing when I stopped by the kite shop in Boulder, CO a few weeks ago. Just about anything more than 2m, even big stunt
kites needed a waiver. It baffles me that people cant take responsibility for their own stupidity and mistakes and try to sue the guys that sell the
kites.
