well it could have been twisted from how your rolled it up and there for poped.. it just might have been the strut and the blader leaked... 6psi is pretty hard so if it was left on ground that was hot could have easyily popped...could have got pinched and pooped..........LOTS OF REASONS WHYY but hard to find the exact one.. i have toorch 2's and none of mine have done that and havent herd of any others doing that so prob not a kite fault could be but dont think so..

wouldnt be twisted bladder if the material ripped.
maybe you were just destined to get a new kite on warranty bluey.
good luck.

my mate was launching the kite, he said the stitching around the zip on the leading edge popped, then it ripped the leading edge and the bladder bulged out and burst. i just bought this kite second hand no warranty..
