Abstract
A control bar stopper includes a stopper body having a sleeved line receiving slip groove that allows sleeved line slippage. The stopper body has an underlying control bar bumper. A brake body is provided having a sleeved line receiving stop groove that resists sleeved line slippage. The brake body is smaller than the stopper body and is positioned above and at a distance from the control bar bumper with the stop groove facing the slip groove. A pivotal link connects the stopper body and the brake body. In response to a control bar striking the control bar bumper, the slip groove allows the stopper body to slide along a sleeved line and as the stopper body slides along the sleeved line, the brake body pivots about the pivotal link into stop contact with the sleeved line with the stop groove resisting further slippage.
