I don't know about success rates with kites.  My one and only attempt many
years ago to fly a kite with my then 5 year old son was very Linus-like.  I
ran up and down on NYC Riverside Park's promenade like a 100 meter sprinter
and never did get it to rise more than a few feet off the ground.

       There-in lies the secret to being rescued. Any time that I have ever 
been madly dashing about looking like a totally incompetent boob, there has 
been someone there to witness it. Voila, no longer alone: rescued.
