Bar , control and safety lines . The " kitebar " or just " bar " connects the athletes about 20-30 m long control and safety lines to the kite and allows its control with respect to the direction and strength development . The newer models are also equipped with several safety mechanisms for partial or complete disconnection from the screen in case of danger and / or loss of control over the screen . Most of these security allowances are a "Quick Release" on " Chickenloop " ( a quick disconnect connection to the loop , where the trapezoid is hooked ) and a so-called " safety leash " . When quick release the kite crashes on the water , but remains with the Keystone connected , so that the kite is not lost while completely disconnected from the kite on deployment of the safety leash of the athletes .
