Thanks for posting this. We have lost at least two other riders recently to kite retrieval or attempting to hang on to it after winds shifted offshore. It is something you want to think about in advance.
Also, if you are doing proper weather planning and monitoring you'll be on the lookout for a sudden, violent change in the winds. Without the arrival of what may have been a cold front, nothing that untoward might have happened. If you know something is coming you can factor that into your decisions.
