Omg what on earth was that guy even thinking? He could have killed himself, why on earth he just didn't let go, or if worse came to worse just use the safety on his chicken loop.... I guess he must have been using a C-kite though otherwise he should have had enough depower in the kite to just let it hover there surely...

Which is worse? Letting go whilst already floating 30+ ft above the ground? Or drifting outside of a rising column of warm air and letting the kite slow the fall?

You generally don't expect such a thing to happen since you would be accustomed to the upward yanks on the beach even with the kite poised at 12 neutral but by the time you realize that the kite is pulling you too high, it's too late to cut away. Depowering would be impossible if your hanging from the bar and not harnessed to it like this fellow.
