Should this be in BBQ Pit?
I’m j/k with the OMFG netspeak, btw.
There isn’t anything funny about the video you posted.
Next time, just post yourself in the Pit, where you will be taken care of.
Holy crap did that kid go flying. I sure hope she was ok, but I have to admit that looked kind of funny.
Whoah, that was a ROUGH one!
pwned
Wow, NOT funny.
Although it would certainly suck if there was a ban on breakdancing in Times Square now because of this. I do love breakdancing (but is that Fergie’s Glamorous they are playing? Hardly a breakworthy song)
Who would you pit? The dancer? I don’t know. I mean, it’s not like he knew the toddler would rush out. He had a decent buffer zone around him.
But man, that was fucked up.
That reminds me of the days of yore when I was a gymnast. I remember tumbling across the carpet at the gym. I was just doing the standard roundoff-flip-flop-backflip. The backfllip was high. Really high. I wasn’t tucked up because I didn’t want to do a double I needed slow rotation. Right at the peak of the flip I looked up towards the floor. Some little I would guess 3–4 year old had run underneath and there she was just thoughtlessly running across the gym underneath me. I could hear the gym gasp with horror. No matter, the kid probably never had any idea how much danger she was in. I just flew right over her. I can recall the whole thing in slow motion just like it happened.
At our summer street-fair, I’m always surprised that kids aren’t injured. Performers will warn parents constantly to hold onto their kids if the kids aren’t old enough to stay out of their way, and yet every year some toddler nearly gets run over by a bike/acrobat/dancer because the child’s parent couldn’t keep track of it. I remember one year, a child wandered into the performance space three times, and nearly got seriously injured. At that point, the acrobat/bicyclist stopped, hopped off of his bike, picked the child up, and walked it over to the parent, who wasn’t even paying attention.
Ok, I laughed.
I suggest the OP, who laughs when a toddler gets kicked in the face.
Ooh. Scary.
Puh-leeze. Lighten up, Francis. Unlike certain posters on the internet, the kid’ll walk it off.
Pit the parents for not watching their kid. Or an antelope or something.
Do people still do breakdancing?
She looked ok, I think. Most toddlers get bounced at least once don’t they? No sense of danger and piss-poor coordination. They’re like little drunks.
It’s the parents fault, in any case.
So did I.
Those damn antelopes. I say do it, they’ve had it good for too long if you ask me.
I laughed, in a “Ha ha ha, oh god, that was awful!” kind of way.
The kid will be fine, I’m sure, and hopefully a bit smarter now.
I assume those who laughed don’t have kids.
Well, you’d be wrong. I laughed briefly, gasping, in an OMG (sorry, the internet slang just really captures it the way “Oh, My God!” doesn’t) way.
Just because something’s unfortunate doesn’t mean it’s not shocking and funny. Funny is generally caused by an abrupt diversion from the expected sequence of events, and this was certainly it.
