Was flying the kite on the beach today in the southerly and tried a couple of small jumps, when I landed back on the sand I received an electric shock through my toes that was heard by a bystander from 15 metres away. Thinking that it was not a great idea to have the kite in the sky at that point in time, I decided to land it, but just before that with the kite sitting at 12 o'clock there was a large pop and the kite fell out of the sky! Has anyone experienced a bladder blowout whilst kiting in a storm due to electrical static???
