I was making no negative comment when I mentioned my buddy attaching his leash to the spreader bar. In my instance, i attached by leash to the ring in the left rear of my seat harness. I now attach in on the spreader bar. I watched a different friend get dragged from the water to the highway with his head on the white line inches from traffic driving 65mph, and the kite fortunately broke away and went over power lines before he went across. I watched him fight with his releases as he was being looped due to a broken bridle on his kite. HE fought the whole way to the highway as he was getting dragged by his leash. So, I have seen a very similar kitemare, and I am simply thankful he recovered. I was just trying to share an experience and possible helpful tip, as I do not know you or the details of how you set up your leash. There are variations between riders. Sorry you took it so out of context. Cheers, and happy winds!!
