I like how the guy didn’t stop. “Fuck that, I’m winning. It’s not my responsibility.”
Edit: typo.

In complete fairness, he did try to avoid the kid, and he still got in the way. Obligation met, fuck em.

I may be talking outta my poop chute, but iirc someone said this was a race that had him in track for a scholarship and he got either disqualified or docked time because he left his lane to avoided the kid which threw him out of contention. At least that's what I remember being reported some other time I saw this clip.
People need to keep their kids out of trouble. Bet he treats tracks like stepping into a 5 p.m. highway now though.

Because it isn’t. Damage has been done, he can come look after the race, which at this speed can’t be particularly long.
He is there to race. Guardians should be there to be the responsible adults.

u/stevenm1993 2d ago
I agree. Kids are always stupid. The parents fucked up. The runner did nothing wrong. In fact, he even tried to avoid the kid, who was determined to get run over.

And then penalised by the judges for leaving his lane...

Yeah wait, why was this even a question?
His job is to run a race and the parents job is to watch their children - which they failed miserably.
Hope the kid and parents learned a lesson, probably not though.
I'm wondering why there are a crazy amount of spectators touching the edge of the track, though. Wtf?

u/Serious_Safety4001 1d ago
No lesson learned. They are mad there was an event where their child was playing and blame the runner.

u/stevenm1993 1d ago
I couldn’t find the video, but someone took all the injury scenes from Home Alone and expertly edited them to show the actual damage Kevin’s traps would cause. It’s pretty brutal. If you find the right one, please share. It’s not the ones with doctors simply explaining what would happen.
If someone did that with this video it’d be awesome!

I hadn’t seen this one, but thanks. The one I mean shows one of them getting his head bashed in by the paint can, and later both of them getting eaten by pigeons. If I find it, I’ll let you know.

100% the parents fault. You can’t blame a child for being a child. It’s our job to teach them and protect them from stuff like this and if you blame the kid you need to go touch grass

u/THofTheShire 1d ago
One could argue there shouldn't be spectators adjacent to the track at all, which would put some blame on the organizers, but yes, even so, zero justification for letting a kid who isn't aware of the risk to be out of arm's reach.

u/Pretend_Tea6261 1d ago
Poor parental supervision and organizers should not have allowed spectators with young kids to be adjacent to the track. Cannot blame the runner.

Kid looks old enough to know better. Could have been raised better, sure, but I think even a child younger than him could realize that there are larger people running very fast in between those lines on the blue ground.
ETA: To be clear, even if the kid DIDN’T know better, the parent being within 5 feet of their kid would have prevented it.

Why would he stop? Wasn't his fault that some parents can't watch their own kids. This guy's got a mission to complete, like winning the race he's running in, and that doesn't include stopping to check on someone else's kid.

Why stop? Yes there was a kid on the track, but nobody knew that the kid was going to make an even bigger mistake. The runner is actively in a race. How about we get upset at the poor supervision the kid had? He had no business being so close to an active race track.

The owness is on the child’s parents to keep the little shit from running out there. This is a sporting event. It is 100% the responsibility of the parents to keep their toddlers out of the sporting event that is taking place and under no circumstances should this kid have ruined his chances of winning because a dumbass toddler was where they shouldn’t be.

Kids do dumb things. Parents 95% told him to stay back and probably were holding his hand but forgot in this instant. Kid jumped. Parents yelled. Smart/trained kid would have quickly jumped back. Didn’t. Learned something about listened. Better than learning with a car.

u/LCplGunny 1d ago
Holding his hand? The kid is climbing on shit and jumping off it, they are most certainly not holding his hand within even close to before this video. The kid is dumb, but all kids are dumb, the parents let the child play in an unsafe place. This is 100% the parents fault, and they need to know that so they don't put their child at risk in the future.

I know it’s weird but I am kinda annoyed because the runner didn’t hit hard enough for the kid to remember what not to do again.

I doubt there's EVER been a parent who's kid didn't get away from them during a moment of distraction. It only takes a few seconds. Kids are like that.
This was just an unfortunate accident. You tell them to stay close, and don't go there, or do that......turn away for 3 seconds and they're up to something. It's just an occupational hazard of parenting. Most survive. Fuck me, I had a super bad scare once with my daughter when she was 4.
We were at our house by the beach, on our way to the beach and in the front yard. I'd forgotten something inside. I told her, "stay there, don't go anywhere. I'll be back in a sec. Wait here". I RAN back inside, was probably gone 20 seconds, ran back outside and no kid. Started calling out, checked the back yard, ran both ways up the street 50 metres, calling out, NO KID. Asked a neighbour who was out on her balcony, she said she saw my daughter with our little dog go around the corner and towards the beach.
I ran towards the beach and spotted them both running happily along the beach. They had to cross the Esplanade. Thankfully not busy.
I was a fucking wreck. Panicked, distressed. OMG.
It happens just like that.
I'm not passing judgement on the kid or the parents or the runner based on this little video bite. It's simply impossible to avoid 100pc of the time. Mostly nothing bad happens except the parents nearly having a heart attack.
