got it in one! been rumbled! oh well... still don't think there are any fit girls who fly...

But no one has said if they are fit or not!

Thank you for you e-mail concerning a recent episode of 'Casualty'. I'm sorry that you dislike this story, which featured a young woman being struck on the head by a kiteboard, and resulted in serious injury to the kiteboarder as well. In the course of 'Casualty's' research they were aware of headline accidents that have happened during wind sports, but their medical stories are also based on those less sensational and unreported incidents that occur regularly around the country and call upon the services and skills of the programmes medical advisors, who are working Emergency Department doctors. The part of the beach being used by both people in the story was marked out as an area specially designated by the local council for kiteboarding use. The programme made very clear that the young mother should not have been there, and it was her child, who ran into the path of the kiteboarder, who sadly caused the accident. The banning of certain sports and activities on public beaches by local councils has been brought about by real accidents in the real world and we do not think planning bodies will be influenced by this programme. If anything it is more probable that the necessity for designation and marking of restricted areas of beaches is emphasised by this episode, to the benefit of kiteboarders and pedestrians alike. 'Casualty' is concerned with accidents and mishaps that can but shouldn't happen to any of us, anywhere, at any time, and to eliminate stories that might cause offence to specific interested groups would be to misrepresent reality and be a disservice to all, fans or otherwise. We greatly appreciated your interest, and hope you can continue to enjoy the series. Thank you again for contacting us. BBC Complaints Unit

Ok, from the proof here I now understand some girls fly:rolleyes: , and also from the evidence here I now believe that some girls who fly - fly well... but are they fit? Thats the question? Gareth

Do girls fly? Apart from Kirsty Jones and Coralie Imbert - but they are famous and fit! How many girls fly at your flying site? I've been up on Dunstable downs, Stopsley Common, Bunkers Field and no girls... Are kites a boys thing? Are girls scared to fly? Any thoughts?

I reckon it's because people get recomended it so often as a first "real" kite. And also last night when i was out flying, of the twelve on the site flying kites 5 people had 4.9 blade III, it's so popular... I have one, you have one.... so it's just a popular kite.... It's kinda like why do I hear about more car crashes then plane crashes... Anyway thats my theory, but I still love my 4.9 Blade III

Did I do the wrong thing? Have read through all ten pages of this and I'm even more confussed... I'm a solo flyer, not linked with any clubs, wandering around Dunstable Downs, Stopsley Common and Hemel Bunkers Field. I sent my BBC cheque off yesterday... If I suddenly lost control of my 4.9 Blade III and it hit a jogger running by and they sued me... Would my BBC Insurance pay up?
