Paul, very glad you recover well ! See you soon at 3rd :-)

Just a quick tip for anyone who feels he is about to get pulled by his kite while walking on a slippery surface:

First reflex is :SEAT !! just fall on your bum, legs in front of you, one hand on the safety release. You can SEAT and activate the safety release simultaneously.

Better Control, less risk to get pulled head first, feet protecting from the rocks at impact,
Also the arm trying to reach the safety is less likley to hand up being stuck under your body while pulled...

Take care guys,
Greg
