Another One Kites the Dust

“To try to fend off the danger, motorcyclists affix thin antenna-like posts equipped with razors at the front of their bikes to snip wayward kite lines. The company that administers one of Rio’s main highways regularly hands them out to motorcyclists. But cases of motorcyclists having a limb severed or throat slit remain common.” Whoa. Here’s a sport I’d never heard of and that I’d only watch from a very safe distance. Brazilian kites are endangering lives and prompting a push for a national ban.
