Removing a kite tangled
in power lines is a job best
left to utility workers wear
ing protective gear. If you
try to remove it, you run the
risk o f being electrocuted.
When flying a kite, stay
away from power lines. Use
dry string, and make sure
your kite contains absolute
ly no metal, which conducts
electricity. Never fly a kite
in stormy or wet weather.
