Well, as if I needed more stitches to remind me of the need for safety and checking your safety equipment....
Only this time it was the failure of my Naish 2003 quick release. Let the bar go, but the tether line jammed and the kite remained powered up.... Whilst trying to remove the safety leash the safety clip, a plastic number broke and sliced through my hand....
Check your safety over and over and over again... Cost me 5 stitches and two weeks off the water....
Fortunately the doctor at Palm Drive Hospital (Sebastopol) was lovely and told tasteless jokes with me as he stitched the hand together. Altogether a fun afternoon, but the 7 hours in the emergency room would have been better spent on the water.
