This is really sad news. I am sure that her family and friends in the Gorge are in shock over this. My condolences to all.
While she was doing what she loved, it is still a terrible tragedy.
Rest in peace Christina. May your spirit live on in the winds and waves, and in the hearts of your friends and family, eternally.
As Paul suggests, there must be a way to solve this unintentional lofting problem. I know...things happen fast, but perhaps a device can be designed that will auto depower the kite when standing on shore in non-riding mode. Some type of pressure release flap on the wing...but how without complicating it?
