I took my non-kiting brother out for a body drag on the weekend (he hung onto the handle on my harness while I gave him a rapid arm extension) and when we stopped so he could find his shorts (I did warn him about that!), an upwind kite luffed and fell near him. He asked if there’s any standard thing we should call out if a kite is about to fall on someone, like FORE! in golf. I had to admit I didn’t know, so I said I’d ask and give him a link to this thread.

No Screaming Be polite something like ....
"Ahum ... Excuse me .. you folks down there.
You may want to duck your heads, rather quickly, for a moment or two whilst my kite enters that area you are frequenting."

I find polite always gets a positive response .

no chance !
no.1 in my book of safety rules for kiting ...
"keep at least 2 line lengths away from; and upwind of; nonikkers at all times"
