Ya Know JJ Thats a interesting idea
Another major problem, I think, is when the glider starts really kiting like in this Byron accident, is that it puts quite a pull on the rope and radically slows the tug down, And typically the tug is already at a pretty slow speed.
This kiting situation is a major can of worms.
It can and does get out of control so quickly, as that Video clearly shows.
