Whatever kites you fly; Never fly them near
power lines, airports, roads or railways or in storms. Choose a large flying area
and do not fly if people enter it. Please remember, YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE
SAFE OPERATION OF YOUR KITE. All Quad-Line Traction Kites like Skytigers,
Blades and Bullets as well as Dual-Line Power Foil type Kites flown in stacks
produce considerable pull and are not suitable for inexperienced flyers or persons
under 16 years old. These kites are strictly intended for recreational ground use
and are NOT parachutes or paragliders. Always fly within your capabilities
and only in winds you are confident in. Never attach yourself to these kites as
serious injury may result.
