Play Safe - Kites and Planes 

_The Pylon Man is Coming..._

Here from Alpha Beta Gamer and the spoopy low-res game he played about pylons. I don't remember safety PSAs this dark, but then again, I watched a lot of Nick Jr. and Sesame Street(1993-2003ish).

Kids, you CAN fly kites into electricity pylons but only if you're wearing rubber gloves and rubber boots. That's basic science.

Kid got Benjamin Franklin'd

Few people are aware that this PIF's central premise was tragically undermined three minutes after filming ended when the kid at the end lost control of his plane-on-a-wire and smashed it propeller-first into the face of a passing woman. Screaming, she then stumbled into a road-worker operating a pneumatic drill, causing him to puncture a water main and an electrical cable, just as a Sunday school class walked through the resultant puddle. Death toll = 19. The boy later took his own life.

Only 4 child actors died in the making of this film

0:41 I've seen better deaths in goldeneye 007

JIMMY!

This was made back when people actually cared what kind of music they put in their videos.

the plyons are nothing to be afraid of.

Seeing this as a kid gave me a phobia of flying kites (anywhere) that persisted into my adult life. :(

I’m here to look for this alc and earl album

Yeah thats Mr Barraclough Mr Mc Kay is watching Fletcher.

When I first stumbled upon this video, I thought the title was "Knives and Plates"! But then I read it more carefully.

cheers Foggy

Robin: You didn’t say anything about the boy. Owl: He wasn’t so lucky 😔 Robin: You mean he? 😢 Owl: He was badly burnt around his body but he didn’t die.

I wonder how many kids that never had a tv got catapulted in to the other side flying woolworth kites near high voltage cables.

I thought the title said "knives and plates" Lol Also, who the hell plays like right nxt to a electric place? and why does the boy always die in these? haha

HERE KES!! HERE KES!!

@LennySoldier Yes it is Brian Wilde RIP, played Foggy in Last of the Summerwine & Mr Barraclough in Porridge

Still funny after all these years 😃

This is what finished Peter Powell stunt kites. The risk of power lines overhead.

Anyone know where I can find the music used in these PSAs?

I thought they were saying be careful not to run your kite into planes. I'm like if you can get your kite to hit a plane, you're fucking awesome

I like how casually they killed a child.

earl type beat

@Leylandbasher he has several extra lives i guess

@zoeyluverCG That's the same with me!

I know this comment is irrelevant to the video, but does anyone remember this safety video about some kids playing on a tube train then one of them falling while changing cars and dies on the tracks? I really want to know what it's called :/

lol

do kids even play outside any more? too busy on their xbox...mobile phones...pc's...nintendo wii....PS3 etc etc. along with danger from weirdo's that's just one reason why obesity levels have risen amongst kids these days....sigh

use a drone instead

Pilots have to observe safety rules! Really? So being responsible for 400 passengers and 910,000 lbs of fully laden 747, awareness of other aircraft, weather conditions and potential mechanical of electronic faults is the same as a child playing outside. Also I initially thought he said Pirates have to observe safety rules. Too right. If anything, the laws of the sea are at least as rigorous as aviation rules.
