Who would have thought metal kite strings are dangerous?

I have a friend from Pakistan...it's a game wherein the objective is to cut the other person's kite string,only problem is sometimes it results in death

This is done in the US as well. When I was a kid, there was an annual kite festival in Newport, RI and this was one of the events. I imagine it's done in a much more first-world way.
