Abstract: A safety release device for a kite line has a first fastening member with an attachment point for a first line portion and a second fastening member with an attachment point for a second line portion. In a fastened position the second fastening member engages through an aperture of the first fastening member. A release member is movably positioned on the first fastening member and is movable between a secured position holding hold the release device in the fastened position and a released position in which a line attached to the release device pulls the second fastening member out of engagement through the aperture. A releasable locking member is provided on the release member for locking the release member in the secured position so as to prevent it being moved to the released position.
