Kite mooring

The literature has noted that dog-parking helical metal stakes make suitable soil anchors for some kites.

The wind strength and kite line tension would be estimated with some safety margin to ensure safe operation.

Other mobile kite moorings include a towing scooter, a towing bicycle, a skateboard, a wave-moved surfboard or kiteboard, a cargo-ship, a boat, a horse, a dog, a raft, and many other moving vehicles or machines.

When extreme-sport kitesurfers are themselves the dynamic mooring gone astray, they sometimes slam into rocks, buildings, people, thorns, trees and end up with minor to fatal injuries.

When a statically moored kite-type hang glider is moored improperly, gusts sometimes lift the kite and the kite hang glider gets into a lockout condition and slams into the ground, breaking itself and sometimes causing injury to persons and other property.

One of the downsides to the war-time use of barrage balloon (kytoons) involved cut tether[2] cables that dragged into power lines causing loss of production of other needed goods.

Avoiding excessive twist, burn, pressure accumulation, cutting, tangles, and knotting during mooring are important aspects of kite operating; injury and death have resulted from inadequate care for handling kite lines.

Lines moored to control bars, masts, poles, stakes, anchors, reels, hooks, etc.

The mooring of a kite system requires the line holding mechanisms to remain fully operational during all anticipated contingencies of flight sessions.

Reels powered by scooters are kiting manned hang gliders off flatland.
