Had an awesome session on Saturday on my 10m Catalyst until this happened.
Left hand plastic tip snapped off. It shot up the kite lines and cut right through the safety line. The kite fell to the water in the waves.
When I hit the quick release the kite completely disconnected from me. Luckily there were other kiters who could help rescue the kite.
I had a session on thursday by myself so I'm very glad this didn't happen then.
This is the bar I am talking about. I have been using it since October 2013. 3-4 sessions per month.
