Seems we had another kite in the power lines at Altona.

It was a beginner who'd been out for about 3 hours. He was doing okay, up and riding, with the usual walk of shame between runs. I didn't see the actual incident itself, but from what someone described, he got in trouble pulled his QR and didn't have a leash attached because the kite disappeared in the powerlines with some sparks before heading over to the houses.

Result - Firetruck, cops, road closures while they fixed it etc. Not good for keeping kiting going at Altona either way and the second in just over a month.
