hmmm, they do go a long way when your depower line snaps and your safety is on the chicken loop.

The photo makes that spot look so inviting.

I would say they actually rarely go along way when you snap a leash or depower... you have to get pretty unlucky.

Even though the kite isn't in the air, it looks like it's "fully powered up"

That should be easy to get down.. just stand in the water and try and free your bar with a long steel rod

What a great photo.
I dig it.
The handle snagged in the wires, the kite in the swamp....
and the stupid death-leash gripped in his right-hand like a limp dick.
hahaha
