unfortunately I have very bad news:German Silke Gorldt, one of the best kiteboarding ladies of the world,
died today at the worldcup in Germany.Following happend:
one kiter let go of the kite and bar and got tangeled in Silkes lines.
the kite started to spin in winds of 6-7 Bft and got so much power that
Silke was dragged behind it over two wooden wavebraker and the beach
before stopped before a fence. On the way to the hospital in a
helicopter she died.When she got dragged she tried to get out of the depower loop, but
couldn’t get out of it.
So this should be a signal to all of us and more important to all kite
producers to sell kite with quick releases only!
And for us as riders, don’t go out without a quick release!God bless Silke
