ABSTRACT:
A kite safety device for a kite having an airfoil with leading and trailing edges, at least two control lines attached to the airfoil and a control flying bar attached to at least two of the control lines. The device features a trim line having a hollow central passageway, sized and shaped to fit slidably through a central opening in the control flying bar. A safety flying line is attached at its first end to a first point adjacent a midpoint along a centerline extending from the leading edge to the trailing edge and attached through said passageway at its second end to a fixture providing a point for attachment of the flying line to a harness. When the control flying bar is released a user may rotate beneath the kite and when the safety flying line is tensioned, the kite will begin to stall and the kite will descend.
