Kite Flying
Kite flying is fun! Here are some reminders to help keep it safe and enjoyable this season.
Always
- Fly your kites in wide-open spaces.
- Check your surroundings before you put your kite in the air.
- Fly your kites away from power lines and utility poles. Electricity can easily travel down your kite lines to you and this can be dangerous.
- Fly your kites away from trees since they can entangle your kites and line. Don’t try to retrieve your kite from trees which have power lines running through them.
Never
- Fly your kites on days when there is rain or stormy weather. Kites can attract lightning which can seriously injure you.
- Fly your kites on busy streets or along highways where drivers could be distracted or hit you.
- Never fly your kite too close to other kites since it can become entangled or damaged or cause an accident.
- Try to retrieve your kites from trees which have power lines running through them.
- Fly your kite near the path of an incoming aircraft.
