Seems like it would be prudent for spectators to carry a pair of kitchen shears.

Wow. Speechless. Who knew a kite festival could be so dangerous. And lethal.

Hey, it’s just a cultural difference and all cultures should be respected, right?

Hundreds have died this way over years of this insane “festival.” India is nuts.

Eh?
What the heck are they doing over there?
I used to kite fight as a pre-teen and while cut fingers were common I never heard of anyone being seriously injured.
It is heartbreaking to see your kite plunge to earth or soar away out of sight after your string is cut.
I wonder if it was because we were kids and did not take it seriously.
Every time adults start playing kid's games the fun seems to go out.

Why not just fly drones with napalm or grenades on them?
They are so backwards in Gujarat!

I’d be packing a nicely honed katana. More efficient defense.

They need some common sense kite control laws.

“MO, there were no winners.”
Humanity won by bleaching the shallow end of the gene pool.

“SIX people were horrifically sliced to death by glass-encrusted kite strings...”
As opposed to what? Being playfully sliced to death? Elegantly sliced to death?
To: ought-six
They are supposed to be trying to cut the other kites’ strings... like a “last kite standing” type contest.
But accidents happen when you’ve got a million people crammed in that street and no safety regulations.
To: ought-six
Well, many parts of the world have celebratory gunfire in the air...

Which is also stupid. Because what goes up, must come down.

India is a strange place. They still have a caste system, child-brides, a blue god with a dozen arms, leprosy is still rampant, and they would rather watch their children starve to death than kill a cow for a year’s supply of hamburger, steak and ribs.
To: ought-six
The mid-air tussle for triumph tragically saw two baby girls, aged two and three, and a boy, 7, bleed to death in front of their helpless parents.
WTH did they have them? Idiots!
