Kite flying, a traditional sport played on Thai Pongal, is enjoyed by locals in Sri Lanka. During the festival, colourful and various themed kites are made and flown by people of all ages.

What happened ?
As a part of festival sport many groups went to Fly kite where this group of six men were trying to lift a large kite tied to jute ropes.
As they began to glide up, the man tried to bounce while holding onto the rope after the rest of the team slowly let it go except the man who tried to bounce. But the large sized kite began to rise quickly and in few seconds he was at least 30 feet above the ground and seen hanging by a rope in the air. His team members began to shout, asking him to leave the rope before the kite began to climb higher.

The man, identified as Mr Manmohan, he was later admitted to hospital.
