...is a bad idea.
a good example video:

every once in a while somebody wants to give this a try, if they're lucky they ask here first!!!!
200 comments two days out of posting, worth a snicker to see all the eager FAIL!hounds adding their bit.
fixed bridles, flying static, been two years now... ??? folks must be wondering....
sting 1.7, dp power 2.5, crossfire 3.2, ace 5, blade iv 6.5, ace 8, ace 12...
also a couple of arcs, 12 syn and 12 phanny, but i\'m not yet up to speed on them.

I freely admit that kite killers would NOT have made that activity any safer.
Yeah... I got a kite. Or two...

Everybody has the right to be a dumb a$$.
The guy manning the tether line wasn't even paying attention at first, making the total: 2 dumb a$$'s
And you're right BeamerBob, no helmet, making the pilot an even dumber dumb a$$.
