that should teach the parents to look after their child better... i hate it when little kids run around where they're not supposed to and the parents are slow to react. yea, it only takes a second, but the parents should have not taken their eyes off for a second or kept her in physical contact in an environment like that.

Dayum. I am sure the kid was scared.... but they are pretty resiliant at that age. I have seen my son take a fall that would have left me in a wheelchair.

Yup. While I feel bad for the kid, it's still pretty funny.

I've laughed at my friends while they crashed on their mountain bike and broken bones. It sucks for them and I feel horrible at the same time, but it still can be pretty funny. I apologize, but they ask, "Why are you apologizing? It was funny." Then we go to the ER.

Slow to react? Some don't even care. It's annoying.

Relax, people make mistakes. For many people, they need some things to occur to them to learn a lesson. Lets hope the parent learns their lesson and other people learn to not make mistakes like this as well.

agreed, all kids have accidents like this and that is why they bounce like rubber :)

i remember falling about 20 feet out of a tree and when i was too young to remember i was run over by the orkin man. i have seen kids get kicked from and by a horse, thats just life as a kid.

I hope the mayor sees that vid and cracks down on those toothless morons.

My favorite are the guys on the A train. They'll usually start their routine between brooklyn & manhattan. I love standing in a crowded car and having to dodge 2 guys interlocked, tumbling through the middle of the car. I'll take the blind guy with the accordian who whacks me in the shins with his cane anyday over those guys.

I know exactly who you're talking about. I hate it when they perform is crap IN the subway cars. It's extremely dangerous. Yet all these suckers still give them money, so they repeat it again and again.
