Knotted loops for safety links
Most recent edit: Wednesday October 24, 2012

Disclaimer: This folder is a work in progress and is not a finished treatise nor a guide. This folder is but a place for exploratory study.  Tethering humans in kite systems is a most grave matter where death and serious injury may too easily be a result of incomplete engineering or safety practice. Work with experienced tether and tow people, especially when human life is involved, like in man-lifting in kite systems, towing manned hang gliders, towing gliders and sailplanes, parakiting, etc.
