    The authors generalize the notion of split extension of a kinematic space [see \textit{M. Marchi} and \textit{E. Zizioli}, Ann. Discrete Math. 18, 601-615 (1983; Zbl 0509.51011)] to weak K-loops \((F,+)\) that are equipped with an incidence fibration \({\mathcal F}\) [for the notion of incidence fibration see \textit{E. Zizioli}, J. Geom. 30, 144-156 (1987; Zbl 0632.51019)]. They give conditions under which the quasi-direct product \(G = F^+ \times_Q \Gamma\) with \(\Delta \leq \Gamma \leq \Aut(F,+)\), where \(\Delta = \langle\{\delta_{a,b} |\;a,b \in F\}\rangle\), \(\delta_{a,b} = {({(a+b)}^+)}^{-1}\circ a^+ \circ b^+\), \(a^+ : F \to F : x \mapsto a + x\), and \(F^+ = \{ a^+\;|\;a \in F\}\), can be turned into a fibered incidence group \(G\) such that \((F,+, {\mathcal F})\) becomes embeddable into \(G\). By using absolute geometries (hyperbolic planes, in fact), it is shown that there are suitable examples of proper K-loops having an incidence fibration on which the theorem mentioned above can be applied.
