A classic from the past! Those ATKs were lethal, did a number of "Bruno face drags" with it myself. If they lulled a bit, the kite would wad up like a pile of dirty laundry, drop straight down the wind window. Thing is the lines would tighten up, the kite would suddenly reinflate and yank you on your face and drag you into the power zone. I recall I rigged mine with a leash, I think, this is going back to 1998-99. Still, if you didn't act fast on your face you would go. I see from your video, not only does it stall and drag riders it also pulls your shorts down! An amazing kite for the time.
