KGARS - Kiting Glider Automatic Relase System
I'm neither a software nor mechanical engineer, but I think the relationship between force and deflection might be linear, not exponential

Combine that (or a spring) with an actual shock absorber and autorelease when the shock is compressed enough, you can set the limit of stolen energy via the tow-rope to pretty much anything within a certain time. As a software engineer who's done plenty of embedded stuff also, I would much prefer an analog solution.
