Man Lifting
Man lifting, like kite jumping is hazardous. In man lifting,
the pilot is attached to a tethered kite and lifted off the ground.
Some rigs hang the pilot below the kite while others place the
pilot in line with the flying lines and allow the pilot to control
the kite's movements. It can only be done safely with considerable
gear, a ground crew and lots of experience. People have been
severely injured and killed doing man lifting.
