Tragic Accident in ItalyIKO Flash
Always practice safety first IKO would like to send its condolences to the family of the Italian kiter that lost his life in a terrible accident in on Saturday June 20, 2009 in “Campo di Mare” near Rome. We hope that the other kiters involved will make full recoveries and return to the water once again.
We all must use this as a reminder to never fly our kites high when on the beach. These men were all experienced but still were caught in an ascencional wind gust of unbelievable force.
Even while speaking on the beach do not fly your kite in zenith. Please land your kite when you get to shore.Let this be a warning from mother nature that we are all vulnerable to her wrath, so always practice safe kiting!
