LEAVE THIS TO THE EXPERTS
Removing a kite
tangled in power
lines is a job best
let to utility
workers wearing
protective gear. If
you try to remove it, you run the risk
of being electrocuted. When lying a
kite, stay away from power lines. Use
dry string, and make sure your kite
contains absolutely no metal. Never
ly a kite in stormy wet weather.
