Wrist safety release system for a traction kite by Naish (USA). Black foam padding wraps wrist and adheres with velcro, attached to safety release line.
Similar product:
"Wrist-mounted de-power system enables you to let go of your quad handles when overpowered and recover your kite.
By linking the brake lines of the kite to the pilot via wristbands, if the handles are released the brake lines are brought into use to de-power the kite and allow it to land safely.
The pilot can then pick up the handles and relaunch the kite safely, or pack it away and go tell all their friends about their narrow escape!"
