If the primary safety features are utilized correctly, punching out will let the kite dangle by one line producing very little if any pull.
If the secondary safety features are required and utilized correctly, the kite will become completely detached from the kiter rendering the kiter kiteless but alive.
I have had to pull primary and secondary releases before. It's strange to stand up (unharmed) and watch your kite fly over the sherman island levee road and into the cow pasture. I suspect that strange observations are much better than trying to cut barbed wire with my lungs and lower intestine.
CHECK YOUR RELEASE MECHANISMS OFTEN!!!!!

Make sure you know how to use the releases like its SECOND NATURE! PRACTICE!!!
It's windy...we should be kiting.
