Peter Cornall, head of leisure safety at the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents, said: "Kite flying is a great activity, particularly on beautiful days like yesterday. It's really important, though, to be aware that weather conditions can change quickly, including wind direction, and you can end up being blown into danger, as sadly happened this weekend. If you're new to kiting, you may not realise how easily the wind can pick you up especially if the kite is a large one.
