Here from Alpha Beta Gamer and the spoopy low-res game he played about pylons. I don't remember safety PSAs this dark, but then again, I watched a lot of Nick Jr. and Sesame Street(1993-2003ish).

[@adudefromtheukvideos]

Kids, you CAN fly kites into electricity pylons but only if you're wearing rubber gloves and rubber boots. That's basic science.

[@KrillLiberator]

Few people are aware that this PIF's central premise was tragically undermined three minutes after filming ended when the kid at the end lost control of his plane-on-a-wire and smashed it propeller-first into the face of a passing woman. Screaming, she then stumbled into a road-worker operating a pneumatic drill, causing him to puncture a water main and an electrical cable, just as a Sunday school class walked through the resultant puddle. Death toll = 19. The boy later took his own life.

[@matthewhurry4064]

Seeing this as a kid gave me a phobia of flying kites (anywhere) that persisted into my adult life. :(

[@dylaninpieces2]

Do you think you should conquer that fear?

[@matthewhurry4064]

@@dylaninpieces2 I already do! I fly kites, occasionally, but I'm mildy traumatised and scared when I do so! Now, railway tracks on the other hand, that's a whole different but probably quite healthy phobia...

[@tigerkat4419]

the plyons are nothing to be afraid of.

[@Minervasux]

This was made back when people actually cared what kind of music they put in their videos.

[@saxongreen78]

Production music was quality shit, back in the day.

[@professorpenne9962]

JIMMY!

[@ARCtheCartoonMaster]

When I first stumbled upon this video, I thought the title was "Knives and Plates"! But then I read it more carefully.

[@whyyoulidl]

Now I'd watch that!

[@cerinolancerinolan7148]

Yeah thats Mr Barraclough Mr Mc Kay is watching Fletcher.

This is what finished Peter Powell stunt kites. The risk of power lines overhead.

[@angelacooper2661]

I had a Peter Powell kite around 1981-82 from a shop in Colwyn Bay whilst on holiday. It was blue and I used to play with it locally. I used it under parental supervision, by the way.

[@zoeyluverCG]

I thought the title said "knives and plates" Lol Also, who the hell plays like right nxt to a electric place? and why does the boy always die in these? haha

[@swagmund_freud6669]

Anyone know where I can find the music used in these PSAs?

[@8589brian]

Still funny after all these years 😃

[@BlytheWorld1972]

if you find that funny you are a very sick person.

[@Penultimate_Jive]

I like how casually they killed a child.

[@BlueOceanBelow]

Welcome to every UK safety film.

[@hugoboss5895]

I wonder how many kids that never had a tv got catapulted in to the other side flying woolworth kites near high voltage cables.

@LennySoldier Yes it is Brian Wilde RIP, played Foggy in Last of the Summerwine & Mr Barraclough in Porridge

I know this comment is irrelevant to the video, but does anyone remember this safety video about some kids playing on a tube train then one of them falling while changing cars and dies on the tracks? I really want to know what it's called :/

do kids even play outside any more? too busy on their xbox...mobile phones...pc's...nintendo wii....PS3 etc etc. along with danger from weirdo's that's just one reason why obesity levels have risen amongst kids these days....sigh

Pilots have to observe safety rules! Really? So being responsible for 400 passengers and 910,000 lbs of fully laden 747, awareness of other aircraft, weather conditions and potential mechanical of electronic faults is the same as a child playing outside. Also I initially thought he said Pirates have to observe safety rules. Too right. If anything, the laws of the sea are at least as rigorous as aviation rules.

You're not going to get many GCSEs. Or whatever they're called these days.
