Agree and part of wisdom is knowing to ask for help and advice from those with more experience and wisdom, till you know enough to give it to others yourself and the deep end where the bigger surf waves are is for those who built up the skill and strength to swim out there themself not to take shortcuts

Please give this post a full read. It contains the collective wisdom from powerkiters as well as stunt foil fliers.. I fly kites as big as 8.5 meters squared. They are very powerful and not to be "played" with. As for the links @Edmond Dragut is posting, He is probably trying to show you videos like these.. Powerkites have the real capability of surprising and even injuring the flier. In the right conditions a stunt kite can also generate a bit of unexpected pull with similar results. Keep in mind the kites in the videos are 3 METERS SQUARED or larger power kites and not the small 1.3meter SPAN stunt kite you've ordered. Handing a powerful kite to the uninitiated is not funny and hurts the sport overall. Bottom line. Common sense and respect for the wind will work to mitigate most risks. If someone doesn't have common sense or respect for the power of the wind, then they should not be flying power kites. It is your responsibility to teach and instill the common sense and respect for the wind and wind window. YOU fly the kite first before handing it over. that way you'll know how much pull it has. Please don't let further response confuse you beyond these wisdoms..
