A man was lifted several floors high into the air while flying a giant kite in northern China.

The video was filmed in the city of Tangshan in Hebei Province on March 26.

According to the filmer named Tao, the man who was flying in the sky was his friend. Tao said: "He didn't make a mistake while flying the kite, he did it intentionally."

Tao who owns a kite shop said his friend's action was not that dangerous. "The kite string is made of professional Kevlar and we use safety harnesses when playing, so there won't be any problems. Of course, only professionals dare to play like this," Tao said.

According to reports, it is common for kite players to control their bodies and fly into the air with their kites. The kite string is usually tested professionally and is very strong, so it is unlikely to break even when gripped by a person.

3月26日，河北唐山。男子在放飞巨型风筝时，反被风筝带到了半空，离地好几层楼高。只见男子紧紧握住线绳，在空中飘了一会后缓缓落地，引得旁边的人哈哈大笑。
3月27日，视频拍摄者陶先生介绍，那个“上天”的人是他一位朋友。“他不是放风筝失误，而是故意这么玩的。”但在开风筝店的陶先生看来，这其实并不太危险，“那线是专业的凯夫拉线，而且我们玩的时候有安全带保护，不会有事。当然，只有专业人士才敢这么玩。”
据了解，在风筝玩家中，控制身体随风筝“上天”的玩法并不稀奇。风筝的线绳一般都经过了专业检测，十分结实，被人抓着也轻易不会断。但这样玩还是有危险的，尤其是风大的时候，要控制身体的平衡和高度不容易。视频由陶先生提供。
