Kite injuries need to be vigilant
Kite string injuries occur from time to time. Not long ago, a 4-year-old girl ran into a kite string in Zhangdian, Zibo City, Shandong Province. A cut was cut off on her neck, which was very frightening. Fortunately, I met the static kite line. If the person flying the kite is flying the line out at a high speed, he won't be so lucky once he reaches his neck.
Why do kites have such great lethality? It turns out that most of today's large kite strings are made of keff wires or tedolon wires, which are not easy to break and can withstand a pull of about 100 kg. In this case, the tight kite string will become a saw, and the danger is self-evident.
Image point said: riding a motorcycle forward, hit the kite line to produce pressure, equivalent to the pressure of vegetables when the kitchen knife cuts vegetables. Some people have done experiments and found that under the condition of north wind level 4, the kite line can cut the orange to a depth of 6 mm and cut the apple to 6 square centimeters.
What is more worth mentioning is that when it is 2 meters away from the kite line, most people can't see the kite line clearly at all. Only when they get close can they see it clearly. The kite line is like an invisible knife. So flying a kite must pay attention to safety, pay attention to the hands of the line, pay attention not to let the kite line touch the passers-by around.
