You pull on the webbing ring and the pin releases the spreader bar. Because this is the mechanism you're using to get into and out of the harnes normally it doesn't clog up. I can get out of my harnes in less than 2 seconds.
It's a kite harness but it works fine for windsurfing.
If only I had have spared the nastiness, perhaps this could have solved OG's probs. Sorry OG.

For the last 10 years i have used the spreader bar with the roller instead of the hook.Earlier this year i purchased a new seat harness and sailed with the new spreader bar after 1 session replaced the bar with my old roller.
Advantages(roller)no friction on the lines this makes it easier to feel the power in the sail.
Should you get catapulted? all the times it happened to me i have never had the lines caught in the bar
Disadvantges:when i first used it the lines sometimes dropped off the bar when sailing,i learn't to keep pressure on the lines and have never had a problem since.

). Give it a try. It will make your harness lines last a lot longer too..

It still chews your harness lines but just a little less than a hook.

I'm having counselling for my harness phobia and this very post itself is all part of my ongoing treatment. Dr's orders.

Same thing happened to me with kiting. On my second lesson, I got launched with the instructor holding onto me, yelling at me to pull the safety release which failed, feeling the full force of a kite, how easy it would be to get killed, just crapped myself. I had kitemares all that night, cancelled my 3rd lesson, and have never gone back to it. I never got to the STOKE of kiting which all the kiters talk about, so I had no incentive or motivation to go back to it. When people talk about how safe kiting is these days, I immediately have a flashback to that event, where I thought I would be killed and the safety release just failed on me.

Poor Hardie, I feel your mental anguish. You'll get no sympathy from Dr Mark. Just the same naive advice that I received. His simplistic recommendation to 'don't panic'.
He doesn't understand because he hasn't been personally affected.
He brushes off my mental heath care with his usual dismissive contempt.

This is a funny old forum. It seems that if you don't agree with the establishment, and if you have a difference of opinion with the forum member hierarchy, then you are called all sorts of bad names and branded a troll, whatever that is ?
Well I'm too goodlooking to be troll like.
But having said that, I've received numerous private mails from many forum members. I didn't reply back to any of them as it is not my policy. However I thank you for all your support, I won't list the names but you know who you are.
I appreciate your efforts. Bye

Look what I found, I think I know the bugger, It's the same language he uses when you hear him talk:

I deserve to get a free stash of WindWarrior gear because I am good looking, a great windsurfer and I'm sick of being naked!
Should I name and shame, or is that too humiliating, though I'm not a 100% sure so better not.
