Few people are aware that this PIF's central premise was tragically undermined three minutes after filming ended when the kid at the end lost control of his plane-on-a-wire and smashed it propeller-first into the face of a passing woman. Screaming, she then stumbled into a road-worker operating a pneumatic drill, causing him to puncture a water main and an electrical cable, just as a Sunday school class walked through the resultant puddle. Death toll = 19. The boy later took his own life.
I know this comment is irrelevant to the video, but does anyone remember this safety video about some kids playing on a tube train then one of them falling while changing cars and dies on the tracks? I really want to know what it's called :/
From attentively watching a few of these adverts I've gathered that girls perish while driving to the laundromat, while boys are more often targets for electrocution.
i cant discribe how this makes me feel, most sureal thing these films are, so sureal and acid based in my opinion, i feel like im in a land where boards of canadas music plays constantly and my nightmares come alive.
when you fly your kite or plain you are responsibal for a flying machien that means little jimmy flying them at your little sister is not a good thing
Thanks for posting this. I remember the "scare the crap out of them" theory of 70s info films. They used to round us up in the gym and makes us all watch stuff that would struggle to get an 18 cert even now!

do kids even play outside any more? too busy on their xbox...mobile phones...pc's...nintendo wii....PS3 etc etc. along with danger from weirdo's
that's just one reason why obesity levels have risen amongst kids these days....sigh

When I first stumbled upon this video, I thought the title was "Knives and Plates"! But then I read it more carefully.

It is the will of Allah that the Great Satan imperial west shall feel the wrath of the holy fire (and kites)!

Have you ever flown a kite?
If you haven't, let me just tell you that a dual line 1.5 meter wide kite lifted me and my up 15 feet off the ground when I was 13 during a windy day.
We both added up to at least 250+ pounds.
Flying Machine indeed.
