Naish bar suicide leash.
Hi all,
For Naish riders / Bar.
Can any one tell me can I attach my suicide leash to the steel lop on my chicken loop which the 5 th line goes through.
Or where to attach the suicide leash?
I usually attach the suicide leash to the chicken loop rope but the new Naish 2010 bar, safety release seats neatly into the bar when un-hooked, it is hard to explain
What you can do is attach your leash to the 5th line or other saftey and then to your chicken loop itself. This way you ride suicide for unhooking but if you get into trouble you are still connected to your saftey, it only works on naish because there saftey when pulled your chicken loop is still connected.
so the leash is connected to the 5th and the loop ??????
is this advisable with the torch?

For suicide I attach my leash to the black bead on the sheeting rope. When you drop the bar it pulls the sheeting rope through the cleat so you get a fair amount of depower that is enough to stop the kite crashing really hard.
Also allows the kite to sit depowered at the edge of the window and you just uncleat it pull the shift line and away you go.
The benefit of this method is you do not have to hook into the chicken loop which can be a pain in the arse. I then swap it over to the 5th line safety for launching and landing.
Having said all of that I may try Ewans suggestion in hectic conditions.
have a look at the 2010 North safety leash connection system. two options in one connection.
i wonder where kevin langeree connects his to? ill have a check up with Ewan on his safety leash set up in png next week 
AndyG i would place it on your trim lines above chicken loop when u ride unhooked and on 5th line when hooked in.
