Abstract

This device is a safety system for a kite use that allows rotational independence of the user in relation to the flying control bar and the kite. This safety system also induces stable and powerless descent of the kite when safety system is activate. Easy and quick recovery prior to re-launching the kite is another benefiting feature to this safety system device.

1 . A kite device, comprising: 
 a kite structure having a leading edge and a trailing edge, each edge having right and left sides;    a plurality of flying lines having kite ends and bar ends, said kite ends being attached near said right and left sides of said kite and said bar ends being attached to a control bar that is controllable by a user;    a safety line having an upper segment and a lower segment, said upper segment of said safety line being attached to said leading edge and said lower segment being rotatably attached to said user;    whereby said safety line is rotationally independent from said flying lines;    whereby when said user releases said control bar, said safety line remains attached to said user, said safety line collapses said leading edge and said kite is depowered.    
     
     
         2 . A kite device, comprising: 
 a kite structure having a leading edge and a trailing edge, each edge having right and left sides;    a control bar having a central hole and right and left ends;    right and left rear flying lines having kite ends and bar ends, said kite ends of said rear flying lines being attached near said right and left sides of said trailing edge and said bar ends being attached near said right and left ends of said control bar;    an adjustable strap having a top end and a bottom end;    right and left front flying lines having kite ends and strap ends, said kite ends of said front flying lines being attached near said right and left sides of said leading edge and said strap ends being attached near said top end of said adjustable strap;    a trim line having a hollow passage, said trim line being attached near the bottom end of said adjustable strap and having a user end extending through said hole in said control bar and beyond said control bar and being removably attached to said user;    a safety line having an upper segment and a lower segment, said upper segment of said safety line being attached to said leading edge and said lower segment extending coaxially through said hollow passage;    a rotatable retainer that retains said lower segment of said safety line to a user;    whereby said safety line is rotationally independent from said trim line and said retainer;    whereby when said trim line is detached from said user, said safety line remains attached to said user, said safety line collapses said leading edge and said kite is depowered.
