A girl survives without injury after being pulled high into the air by the tail of a large kite at a festival in a Taiwanese town as a crowd watches on.
A three-year-old girl who was filmed in a terrifying kite accident in Taiwan has not suffered any injuries, media reports say.
The child was filmed being lifted dozens of metres into the air after she was caught in the strings of a kite as it was released on a gusty day. The unidentified girl was taking part in a kite festival on Sunday in the seaside town of Nanlioao when she was caught up by a giant, long-tailed orange kite.
Video shot at the scene showed her twisting several times above a crowd of adults who struggled to pull the kite back to earth. The video ends with the tail of the kite relatively slowly dropping to the ground as those people nearby rush to help the girl.

Victoria's virus cases are 'too high' to reopen state | Sky News AustraliaPremier Daniel Andrews says Victoria’s virus numbers are “too high” to open the state up and “still too high to put forward a definitive plan”.\n\n“We are seeing a fall across each of the key metrics, the strategy is working and that’s a credit to every Victorian who’s made a powerful contribution to that end,” Mr Andrews said.\n\n“But we just have to stay the course on this, at 100, at 94, or 114, whatever around that number we simply could not open up.\n\n“Those numbers would explode ... we would finish up in perhaps an even worse situation than we have been in recent months.”\n\n'Now, there will be a plan. It will come soon. But it will be one that we can be confident of, not something that potentially gets a few people being happier, but then ultimately has to be revised because it didn't mean much when you first announced it.'\n\nVictoria recorded 114 new coronavirus cases and 11 more deaths on Sunday.\n\nMr Andrews confirmed 472 Victorians are in hospital, 25 are in intensive care and 11 are on a ventilator.\n\nSunday’s reporting brings the state’s death toll from the virus to 524 and the national total to 611.\n\n'There are 4226 cases with unknown origin, that is an increase of three since yesterday’s report,” Mr Andrews said.\n\nPremier Andrews also confirmed there are 1,277 active cases in aged care and 406 active cases among healthcare workers.\n\nImage: News Corp Australia
