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

Now if people would just learn to let go of the bar !!! ( & I'm sure they've attached a safety line)

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.
