Extract from todays 'Daily Express'

Stunt Kite man Killed.

A man flying a kite was killed when a sudden gust of wind hoisted him into the air before he plunged more than 30 ft to the ground.
Helpless onlookers saw the 28-year-old man lifted off his feet by the huge stunt kite on a field at Stowmarket, Suffolk.
Then he crashed back to earth and suffered severe injuries.
It is thought he may have modified the kite to strap himself to it and had been seen earlier floating a couple of feet off the ground.
The victim, who has not been named, was said to be "unconcious but breathing" when treated at the scene by paramedics. but he died later in hospital.
