Im pretty positive that kite wouldnt matter and that it has to do with the bar. Im sure you can take a new bar and old kite and if the new bar has a modern safety system, it would work on the old kite the same as a new kite.. Big differences with the older kites is the complex bridle systems with all those pulleys
It actually does, cabrinha used a special bridle which allowed te kite to roll over completely with the safety line on the two front lines. Nowadays, they switched to a one line flag-out. The new bridles aren't made to work with the old system, so the comparison honestly doesn't make that much sense from a safety perspective.
Interesting video! I wonder if the safety would have worked properly had the old bar been paired with a old kite from the same period.

@1:19 did you just hook the quick release portion for your leash to your safety?
yes, theres a welded in area on the loop to hook the leash to
@@KiteboardingStPetersburg maybe I just haven't seen a leash like yours. Do you have a release handle at your harness connection still?
@@zachteel1502 yes I do and the leash uses a knot rather than a metal hook clip. I prefer the metal hook clip more
@@KiteboardingStPetersburg interesting! Thanks! Safe and fun kiting to you!
First 😅
