Many people have experienced that unsettling moment when they see their kite flying down towards them.

Therefore this video also explains the situations that can cause frontstalls, so that you can deal with them, including:
- light wind frontstalls
- switching wind or gusty wind frontstalls
- closing in on a kite at speed
- kite overflying the edge of the window
