Runaway Kite Takes Toddler on a Flight

At an annual kite festival in Taiwan, participants lost their grip on a long kite named "Joy Falls from Heaven." But the tail of the kite wrapped around the neck of a 3-year old girl and carried her aloft. The terrifying part begins at the 0:47 mark in the above video. Thankfully, the New York Times reports, she's okay:

The girl, who was identified by news outlets only by her last name, Lin, landed mostly unscathed at the Hsinchu International Kite Festival. She suffered abrasions around her neck and face, the mayor of Hsinchu, Lin Chih-chien, wrote in a Facebook post on Sunday. She was admitted to a hospital for a medical examination, he said.
