He's attached to a rope. This is no kite jump, just being lifted up like so many other "jump" videos. You might as well just call it parasailing.

Not only that, but he has two friends running along the beach pulling the rope that he is attached to, in order to get him airborn. This is fake. Not fake in the fact that he is in the air, but it's a fake jump with fake wind and no high danger.

As he drops, he moves forward,( same principal as running with the kite when there is no wind) thus keeping the cells inflated, cells stay inflated while coming down ......= DOES NOT DIE!! IF IT'S NOT DANGEROUS, IT'S NOT FUN. Ps, I'm the one in the air!

The kite is a 10.5m blade. We get great height by having a 80m rope attached to the 'kiter' and then have 2 people pull him as fast as possible when he makes a jump. Same principal as para gliding.

ok this might sound like a stupid question but i have a 4 slingshot and im lookin for alot more power. i wanna jump ad high and long as possible. now would a pansh ace 8m or 12m be better for kit jumping? obviously the 12m has more power but im wondering if the speed differences in the kites would make a difference in that you need the perfect balance of speed and power. which one should i get for the biggest jumps?

@4leafmetal If your setup is brand new then you will need to 'run it in' in other words, the new lines will strech a bit and you will need to find the right setup for the best flying. We used a 10.5m kite for this and I had a 80m rope attached to the back of me while 2 mates ran down the beach pulling me (you can see them at the beginning of the video) being pulled is how we managed to get such height. Some people frown on this but we don't care. HAVE FUN!

You have a strong chord/rope about 2' long that is attached each end to each handle and you simply hook it into your spreader bar. Some people like to use a pully wheel on the spreader bar but I find it easier to use without.
@rick928

There is no minimum or max. It depends on how big the kite is (and what sort) and how strong the wind is too. Most 'kiters' will have at least 3 different kites. Our kites range from 3m to 17m. But you are right, we are nuts! We do a dangerous sport and then manage to find a way of making it more dangerous lol

he has a harness hooked up to his kite, so there's a low probability of him plummeting downward toward the ground. and his being attached to with a rope to the ground makes it so he doesn't fly away, so yes, it still is a jump...

I was hooked on my spreader bar yes but I was holding on in a way that if the rope snapped suddenly (rope between the handles) I wouldn't lose grip. In other words, I was holding those handles bloody tight! On another note, teathered flying (with someone holding the rope the other end) is very safe, I control lift etc but so does the person on the ground .....bit like flying 2 kites at once. Always soft landings!

@rcfreak2493 Without question, the 12m! The bigger the kite the more lift but it will also act like a paracute on the way down. In other words, you come down slower (and softer!) Re-directing the kite all the time gives you the best lift and softer landings. Again, using a bigger kite means that re-directing is slower giving you more time to think and best of all ....more time to enjoy the 'flight' I was towed on this video(10m Blade) but I get huge jumps on my own (with the right wind)

This IS NOT a parachute, this is a FOIL KITE, foil kite requires WIND to keep the cells INFLATED without wind the cells will deflate which basically means that he is holding on to a piece of flacid material. Yes, whilst he goes down the cells will probably inflate slightly, but not enough! And yes the chances of the wind dropping to nothing is not huge, but there is still a possibility and at that height its pretty dangerous.

If you are tethered to something or some one, you have to make sure all the lines are capable of taking all the strain put on them. It can be pretty safe if you do a bit of maths before attempting it. Thinking about learning by your mistakes when dealing with that power is potentially a fatal error.

Why is bungie jumping called "jumping" if there's something tied to the participant? Anyways, if the rope were connected to a helicopter which was pulling him upwards, then it wouldn't be a real jump. But this situation is the opposite since the rope is keeping him from ascending too far.
