Yes, I probably caught the lofting on my helmet GoPro. I was running north when he went up about a 1/2 mile north. He was so far away with the wide angle lens, the size would probably be too small to see. I did interview both he and his friend doing the downwinder from Delray about what happened. He was lofted about 20 to 25 ft. up when he opened both QR. I will put together a video and put it up soon. I am glad he came out of it ok and no one else was harmed in the event.
Moral of that story:
DON'T GO OUT RIGGED TOO BIG, ESPECIALLY IN STRONG CONDITIONS!
He was lucky.
