When it goes ballistic and the kite has enough juice to throw you around like a rag doll thinking you are going to just reach down, depower it, and unhook is pretty silly. It's already depowered... there is no "camber shift" or slack in the lines to take advantage of until smackdown when the kite stalls but then it's too late.

Of course it doesn't hurt to try does it. Didn't work for me. :mrgreen:
