How is the lofting risk calculated?

The risk is determined by the ratio of aerodynamic lift generated by the kite to the total weight of the rider, amplified by the gust factor and thermal activity.

Can I use this to check if my kite is too big for the wind?

Yes, you can use `check_kite_suitability` to determine if a specific kite size is appropriate for the current wind speed and your weight.

Does beach position affect the risk score?

Yes, using `get_positional_hazard` allows the tool to adjust the risk based on whether you are near the shoreline, mid-beach, or in the dunes.

More Details Connect to Claude

This MCP server provides critical safety calculations for kite flyers. By analyzing the balance between aerodynamic lift and rider weight, it predicts the likelihood of lofting accidents. Use get_risk_assessment for a full safety profile, check_kite_suitability to verify if a kite size is safe for current wind speeds, simulate_gust_impact to evaluate sudden wind surges, and get_positional_hazard to account for terrain risks like dunes or shorelines.
