I like the band idea. There's no way I'm going to go out and spend the money to get certified just so I can have someone launch for me. I almost always have someone with me whom launches my kite anyways...
But really, what will we do if someone doesn't have a band?
Just talk to them?
What if they blow you off?
You've gotta at least try enforcing what we already have (buddy system) before throwing money and added ideas to the problem.
Before launching ANYONE you don't know, how about assuming they don't know what they're doing. Ask them how long they've been kiting for and even just test them on some hand signals before you do.
Problem solved without any wristbands.
