Kites Don't Kill People

Killer kites kill people. In Pakistan,

the Supreme Court banned kite flying last year, but allowed an exception from Feb. 25 to March 15, a step seen as... an attempt to keep kite manufacturers and vendors in business. During those few weeks, kite fliers and vendors were supposed to promise not to use wire or dangerous string. But kite flying began even before Feb. 25, and a spate of deaths and injuries in the last few weeks persuaded the provincial government to ban the sport on Thursday night, according to government officials... The furor over kite flying gained momentum last month when a 3-year-old girl was killed by a kite string... Since Feb. 25 three more people, including a child, have died, and dozens of people have been injured, according to reports in the Pakistani news media.

On a related note, I wish I could found an organization with a name like Anti-Kite Flying Democratic Front.
