The power of kite string
How big is it, exactly?
▽▽▽
Most of the kite strings sold on the market are acrylic and polypropylene materials, with a diameter of only about 0.2 mm, which seems to be slender and soft, but the tensile force is extremely large.
If the human body fights against the resilient kite string at high speeds, the kite string will be as sharp as a knife, cutting through the skin at least and life-threatening at worst. In addition, the color of the current kite string is mostly white, gray, and translucent, which is almost invisible under the light, and is more like an invisible knife.
As the kite gets bigger, the material of the kite string becomes more resilient. When the wind force exceeds force 4, the kite string will be taut and the pull force will reach 50 kg, and the wind force may even exceed 100 kg.
Let's take a look at a set of experiments

Precautions for kite flying
01
Choose an open and flat site, use a clearly colored kite line, avoid buildings, trees and pedestrians, and never fly a kite in places with high-voltage lines and on both sides of roads and railways.
02
When the wind force is greater than level 3, it is not advisable to fly kites, and the weather should be sunny and stable.
03
When flying a kite, wear gloves and other protective gear, and try to avoid touching the kite string with your neck, face and fingers.
04
If you see someone flying a kite nearby, be vigilant and pay attention to detour, pedestrians should stop running, and cyclists should slow down or get off the bike. When you notice that the kite string is getting closer to you, quickly dodge in the opposite direction.
