Abstract
Kiting is a very popular sport during spring season in many of the Asian countries such as India, Pakistan and China. During the winter season, in some of the South American countries, kite flying can sometimes lead to serious or even life-threatening injuries caused by its string. During peak seasons, a large number of such injuries are known to occur and these cases usually hit the headlines of local newspapers. It has sometimes even led to ban on flying kites by the authorities during festive seasons. However reports of injuries from kite flying are only occasionally reported in the medical literature. Here we report a case of severe neck injury caused by a kite string. The mechanism of injury and various safety measures to be followed to avoid such injuries during kiting are also discussed.
