Oh my testicles shriveled slightly when i saw this one, i'm not one for quick acceleration counter to gravity, as i learned long ago what goes up must come down, usually with painful bone shattering consequences.
Lucky despite the obviously dubious parenting or dismal supervision of one little girls family, there where no serious injuries other than an new found fear of counter gravity acceleration that haunt her for the rest of her life. Or not, kids are pretty tough, she'll probably try bungee jumping next, as for me, i'm overly happy to stick to the surface of the earth, it's where the fish are.

The Mayor of Xinchu City where this annual kite festival took place, offered an official apology for not being able to pick up the slack supervision of a 3 year old, an investigation has been launched to see what went wrong.
In hind sight i'm positive security could have been better, yet there where hundreds of onlookers and no one sees a child playing where she ought not too? When i was a kid and if i did that, some random person would have smacked me up side the head and sent me on my way to safety and added to that it would be our little secret, because if my folks found out, i'd have a better chance taking that kite ride (i know it sounds Savage, but that’s the way we survived the past).
What needs to be investigated is why people have become so blazey, blind even, perhaps it's fear of getting oustracized for getting involved or perhaps it's because we are always head down reading dribble much like this article.

The take away
1. The kid survived, something good happened, the universe is not out to destroy us.
2. If you see a child in potential danger, get involved, savage up a bit.
