Death Kiteloop - How to get out of it !

[irvinside]

Hi All,

just saw this video on YouTube on how to get out of an infinite KiteLoop without a knife.
Never tried it, but I'll keep this in mind:

What do you think ?

Great video - thanks for posting! It reminds me of the "o-sh*t" handles. Bars having pass through loops on steering lines so you could just reel the whole thing in on one steering line if need be.

Probably more of an old school c-kite equipment setup, but the idea is still the same even if you don't have the loops/handles and you are going to just use the line directly

I actually had deathloop just yesterday at Sherman. Learning to Kite foil, crashed and board jumped through the lines with wings hanging on left steering line, pulled steering line that was accessible (opposite of the tangled one) and forces kite to stall, got total 2 full rotations.

This is such a good trick! Should be taught in kite schools if not already.
