Safe Kite Flying Starts With Awareness

Flying a kite is a timeless summer activity. With a little awareness, it can be enjoyed safely almost anywhere.

Choose Open Space

The safest places to fly a kite are large, open areas like parks or fields, well away from power lines and electrical equipment.

If you can see overhead wires nearby, move to a clearer space before getting started.

Fly In The Right Conditions

• Clear, dry weather is best for kite flying.
• Avoid flying in rain or storms, when conditions can make kite lines more conductive and unpredictable.

Use Safe Materials & Stay Alert

• Stick to standard kite string, never use wire or metal.
• Keep an eye on your surroundings.
• Avoid flying over people or near roads.
