The 5th line is a very simple and efficent safety/relaunch system. It basically consists of a line which runs from the attachment points on the leading edge of the kite, through a ring on the sheeting strap and attaches to a grab ring. The rider has the option of attaching a safety leash line to the ring, which can save your kite if you drop your bar during unhooked moves like handle passes. This system can also be used with a pulley bar and solves the problem of difficult relaunches. When the bar is released, it slides up to a stopper ring approximately 8 feet up the line. Then you simply pull in the leash line until the bar is in your hand. Next, slowly release the leash line while putting pressure on one back line. The kite instantly moves to the edge of the window in the launch position.
