The guy I assume launched unhooked then had too much power. Shoulda dumped the kite.

Launching unhooked is not fool proof but it makes it easier to save your life.

Wierd, ya it does look like the guy launch unhooked then thought it would be a good idea to hook-in with a completly deflated LE. I hope no one on the beach got hurt.
