Typical hazards & measures
Currents
— Use local tide and current charts to determine safe conditions. Provide participants with information on how to avoid or escape strong currents. Ensure rescue services are on standby in areas prone to fast-moving water.
Broken lines
— Check lines for signs of fraying or damage before each use. Carry spare lines and tools to replace them when necessary. Train participants on how to inspect and replace lines.
Strong winds
— Ensure participants are trained to recognize wind speeds and conditions beyond their skill level. Use anemometers to measure wind speed, and limit participation when winds exceed safe thresholds for their ability. Regularly check weather forecasts and provide wind cut-off points.
Inadequate safety equipment
— Conduct thorough equipment checks before each session, ensuring all safety gear (harnesses, life vests, helmets, quick-release systems) is in good condition and appropriately fitted. Provide training on correct use of all safety equipment. Maintain a stock of high-quality, regularly inspected safety gear, and replace any worn or damaged items immediately.
Entanglement with lines
— Train participants to avoid crossing lines with others. Provide instruction on how to free themselves from line entanglement quickly. Maintain clear separation between kiters.
