That must have been some impact! Shocked The rounded ends of those aren't to sharp.
...however, the person who this happened to might not have been either!

It's a leash end (clip) hooked through a guy's hand...

Someone has to tell this guy that he should use the ring supplied on the harness. In the old days we had wrist straps that the leash attached to but clipping the saftey through your hand is going over the top. Is this the way the new 2009's kite saftey system works?? I guess this system is a good thing in that the kite will not get away from that guy.

To be perfectly honest, this chap doesn't sound too smart from his little "writing sample."
