Can we just not agree that the use of low tow and the non use of CoG hooks
for aerotowing reduce the likelihood of a kiting event occurring?

The available evidence may show that neither will completely prevent the
occurrence but there is evidence to show that there is an apparent
reduction in occurrence. Complete eradication might be the ideal but
reduction is a start in the right direction.

There is a lot to be said for studying "Best Practice" but you have to act
on it. If you are used to high tow I would be the first to admit that low
tow looks weird but it is much more stable and requires much less work to
keep the proper position. It appears to me that people are saying that out
of position in low tow is a much less serious situation that out of
position in high tow (too low is better than too high)
