They seem to like the notion that the kite will crash on them. Like running with the bulls I guess.

They are pretty big and could leave a mark or two.

Kami, there's you a single liner for your banned park. :lol:

Yeah they have those here, but square - the "traditional" kites.

There's usually a guy at that park with one, maybe 2m2 ... he sets up on one side, lets out all the string he can so it's about 20m in the air with string dragging down to the other side of the park :ticking: and I bet dollars to donuts he's the one whose kite fell out of the air and almost hit someone. And we get "banned" :lol:

Yeah... I got a kite. Or two...
