GRASSED UP: Man Surfs On Grass As Kite Drags Him Along

This is the moment a man appears to surf on grass as he is dragged along by a kite in strong winds.

The incident took place in the city of Qingdao, in the eastern Chinese province of Shandong.

In the video, the man can be seen holding onto the large kite as it drags him along.

The man looks like he is surfing on the grass for a while before he falls on his bottom as the kite continues to pull him.

Another man runs towards him and catches hold of the kite, apparently to prevent the first man, unnamed, from being dragged further.

But both of them are then dragged by the kite.

The second man appears to sit down on the grass, apparently bringing the incident to a close as the footage ends.

According to local media, the dragging could be explained by the strong winds during the day and the fact that the kite was rather large.

Netizens left several comments on Douyin, which is what TikTok is called in China. ‘Leon’ wrote: “Flying kites sucks.”
