<p>A 12-year-old boy in Indonesia was swept high into the sky by a giant kite after he became entangled in its tail. He then plummetted head-first more than 30ft to the ground in front of horrified onlookers in Pringsewu regency, Lampung.</p>

<p>A now-viral video shows the boy being lifted off the ground, tangled in the strings of the kite. It then snaps, sending him plunging downwards in a field full of people.</p>

<p>The child fortunately survived the fall. He, however, broke multiple bones and is recovering in hospital following two surgeries.</p>

<p>Locals rushed to the boy's aide, taking him to a nearby clinic from where he was referred to a hospital for treatment.</p>
