Quite obvious really.

The kite makes a live connection between the ground and the power line - ie STRAIGHT THROUGH YOU. Even if it does burn out quickly - it's simply WAY too much of a risk to even think about it. Those power lines carry a lot of current and the slightest of surges WILL KILL YOU.

Not only that - but in some areas, it is illegal to have such items close to power lines.

You should keep kites away from power lines because there is a risk of electrical shock or electrocution. The strings of the kite can conduct electricity and pose a danger if they come into contact with power lines. It is important to fly kites in open areas away from any potential hazards, including power lines.
