Motorcyclist sustains neck injury from stray kite string [WATCH]
KUALA LUMPUR: A motorcyclist sustained neck injuries after riding into a stray kite string that had been stretched across the road and became entangled around a streetlight on Jalan Lingkaran Tengah 2. The kite string is believed to have been originated from Taman Metropolitan Kepong, which is a popular kite flying area. A circulating video on WhatsApp and Facebook shows a neck injury — a raw line of broken skin. "I was lucky that my neck was covered with a piece of cloth," he said adding that his shirt and bag were also ripped in the incident. "I want the authorities to take action. Thank you," the victim said in the video. The police have been asked to comment. Social media users voiced concern about the suitability of kite flying in city areas near roads. "Cities are unsuitable for flying kites, especially near roads. It's fun to see kids play and clap when the kite flies high," said user Chepuan Hanim. "It's dangerous. The other day I hit a kite that had detached from its string after being struck by the car ahead of me — a loud noise followed. It turned out the kite stick had hit the underside of the car before landing on the road," wrote Azimah Abdul Mutalib.
