I was just reading a "kiteboarding forum" and the general consensus is it happened too fast to react, and you can see that he didn't let go (which appears to be the thing to do) and he didn't use either "the fifth line" or the "QR" (I assume Quick Release) which collpase the kite or actually let it go.

"He shouldn't have been there..." is also what they are saying.
Yeah.....Hurricanes dont typically just appear out of nowhere, they get a fair bit of warning. This guy must have made an effort to be there.
