When Flying A Kite 

 

Before setting your kite into the sky

make sure that the weather conditions are safe.

 

That the sky is clear and there are no rain or storm clouds

within 10 miles of where your are.  Lighting can travel that far

and parts of your kite may attract activity.

 

Stay out of areas with electrical and power lines

where a kite can reach or land,

as well as

in someone’s yard,

in a street with traffic,

or where people are gathered. 

 

Also, you may be in an area where there are restrictions of

how high kites are allowed to fly.
