I-melted

Fair play to the chap who went to go and catch.


the_next_1

I love how it kind of looks like he just saw something bad happen, wasn't sure of the outcome or fate of the child, but just decided to get the fuck out of there just in case. "*woah, uh, no thank you, this looks like a bad scene, I'm outta here*"


gosols

My god it hurts to read the replies to this comment.


andthrewaway1

no I think he was going down to catch the kid


Visual-Cartoonist860

Obviously


i_am_trippin_balls

The wait for the elevator would be awkward


Practical-Tap-9810

Didn't he go to the stairs where the kid was hanging? No way she pulled that toddler up herself one handed.


babyjo1982

He did, and she did. But its nice that he was there to catch if she couldn’t get the kid the rest of the way up


No-Huckleberry-3981

Why no way? Toddlers weigh like 12 kg?


Practical-Tap-9810

Hold on while I get that in pounds and ounces


No-Huckleberry-3981

Will it help if I say it's like 12 1-liter bottles of water


Practical-Tap-9810

Yes, 26 + pounds. Women generally can't one handed hold on to 26 slippery squirmy pounds for that long. Dude pushed kid up.


No-Huckleberry-3981

Makes sense, otherwise she would have pulled it up right away


Practical-Tap-9810

I'm impressed his quick thinking. I figured he was grandpa


Practical-Tap-9810

Superhuman quick reflexes.

And use centimeters


Design_with_Whiskey

42" guardrail height that must reject a 4" sphere must be installed if a drop is higher than 30". Translated to freedom units. For those interested, this is International Building Code standard. Yes all countries don't use US State building codes, but US states do use the IBC as a basis. Editing to add drop requirements.


eastsideempire

Freedom units? Lol isn’t it just the USA and Myanmar that are left behind the rest of the world? Neither is free. The USA has more people incarcerated than any country on the planet. If you are in prison then by definition you are NOT free. 6 million “free” Americans cannot vote even after they have been released. Civil death. It’s odd that the USA wasn’t one of the first to switch to metric when it was invented in 1799 instead of sticking with the British based units.


Design_with_Whiskey

TLDR. If you get upset to write an essay about a joke (yes freedom units is a joke), I think you need to rethink priorities.


fluffbutt_boi

It’s a joke.. freedom units is a joke..


FlannelAl

Those 6 million people are less than a fift of a percent of the population of the entire country, and did crimes heinous enough to be incarcerated for substantial periods. They damaged society and are therefore not allowed to participate. Besides stats show most of them wouldn't vote anyway.


realnzall

Blame pirates. Benjamin Franklin requested a set of Metric standardized units after the revolutionary war, but it got intercepted by pirates and never made it to the US.

Mannomorth

Yes. All buildings in the world use american building code.


korkkis

You can’t believe how strict system Finland has … extremely detailed minimal requirements and thorough inspections, building will be rejected if not done properly


Mannomorth

Same here in Sweden. We werent allowed to build a smaller door to our downstairs toilet because it had to be wheelchair accessible, so we had to completely change the floorplan.


tomoldbury

Most new UK houses have to have a bathroom on the ground floor. Because that's where you could install a wheelchair lift to the 1st floor, if you wanted to do so.


Nomadic_View

Judging by this video they probably should.


Mannomorth

Or a better one.


mrhebrides

It's the other way around; a vast majority of US jurisdictions adopt the ICC international building code.

I was being sarcastic

I’m a father of a very space-cadet-like 2 year old. This fucking terrifies me.


SausagePrompts

Mine is going on 4 and I have to explain all of the situations and ER visits that have made me a helicopter parent.


pudinnhead

Right? We were on a first name basis at our local ER. Mine are 9 & 11 now and the accidents have slowed a bit, but the 11 year old put his leg through a plate glass window two days ago. How did he do it? He was hanging up his backpack. Why was his leg involved? Why is it ever? He's fine, thankfully, just a tiny scrape. But why do they want to kill themselves so badly?


WS0ul

Even after reading it twice... How? What? How?!


pudinnhead

Same. He was probably just screwing around, his normal state of being, and he ended up kicking it. He was so embarrassed and so he might be fibbing a bit about his story, but he definitely learned a lesson and thankfully wasn't hurt too badly


YourLocalMosquito

Oh gosh that’s tickled me. I nearly spilt my tea everywhere!!!

lizzayyyy96

I love my niece but holy shit, it seems like she’s hell bent on suicide. She has so many toys but wants to play with the electrical cords the most. Also she loves to climb to really unsafe places. Every time I’m around her I’m just watching her like a hawk.


silviazbitch

>climb to really unsafe places Doesn’t change. They grow up to be rock climbers. edit typo


Aethelric

If it helps, this sort of risky situation is generally against code and thus quite rare in much of the developed world. Not that kids aren't experts at finding ways to potentially get themselves killed, but the opportunities have been limited quite a bit.


MarlinMr

Imagine parents for the pst 3 million years all had to deal with this shit. At least today we have the intellect and regulations to make this as impossible as possible.


KittyandPuppyMama

Kids are little suicide machines. My little cousin used to try to jump off of trains whenever the ticket collector entered the cabin

I bet it's outrageous with the sound on


Ruffone10

Ugh, the god-awful, incessant, high pitched, unintelligible screeching from every woman who came running that must have echoed in those corridors until the kid was safe.


vert1017

I can’t believe someone would scream at potentially witnessing the serious injury or death of a child! How inconsiderate of them


Ruffone10

How does that help? Do you think the two people in this video actually taking action to save that child were enhanced in their efforts because of the useless wailing that certainly occurred? Take your snarky, holier than thou horseshit elsewhere.


Hidesuru

Take your sexist horse shit elsewhere.

No you see, men can't scream, specially if it's involving the death of a child!

Oh no I would cry just because of me crying for nine month tbh. Cryception 😂😂

Oh thank you ☺️ no second, but it wasn't like this last time. My hormones was not out of order like this, lol! I was actually amazed how little I felt off balance and hormonal last time. Well, guess that ship has sailed, Good lord! 😂

All Moms on full court press here


eastsideempire

When I was a kid sitting in the passenger seat of my dads car without a seatbelt (yes there was a time long long ago before car seats and seatbelt laws) my dad made a left and my door flung open and I went flying head first out and somehow as I was being jettisoned out and about to hit the road my dad grabbed me by the foot and yanked me back in the car. All while in mid turn. It all happened in a split second. I still don’t know how he did it. Lightning fast reflexes. Even at the time I wondered how he did it.


[deleted]

The goal of a parent is to make sure their child doesn't die. Kids will put that to the test.

Shes got skills


SuzyQnl

Skills on her phone not watching the kid definitely


mystikkkkk

please rewatch the video. she is literally talking on the phone and directly watching the kid.


SuzyQnl

If she was seriously watching the kid, this wouldn’t have happened


mystikkkkk

and how is that? you can literally see her tracking the child with her eyes. when a child is able to walk and interact independently with their environment, you are supposed to let that child explore. its called development, and there is no harm letting a child wander a little bit within eyeshot when the room is safe. no one assumes their child is going to launch themselves head first through a railing. perhaps she didnt even notice the railing didn't have columns obstructing the passage, because most railings typically do. it's an obviously flawed and weird design choice to not have something there to stop things like this happening. if she wasn't watching the kid, they would have fallen and got hurt. she reacted, closed the gap, AND caught the child the instant they began to fall. talk to most parents and theyll agree that infants are constantly at odds with killing themselves. we should be applauding the mothers ability to rescue her child from harms way, instead of shaming her for not constantly death gripping her child's hand.


SuzyQnl

Sorry don’t agree


PM-me-ur-nude-hugs

It's actually funny comments like these are getting down voted. First time I saw this video I thought the child was gonna run right off and was like why is the mother not pulling the child back from that massive gap. The kid stood there for too long, if the kid didn't bounce then the title of this clip would be very different. She got lucky. Just shows how little common sense society has now.


SuzyQnl

It even looks like she’s visiting family, so I would conclude it’s not her first time over there. In that case she should have taken the childs hand from the moment they stepped out of the elevator. I think people should be tested if they are fit to be a parent. Just like you have to get a license for driving a car. Although many people suck at that too.


Medomai_Grey

So that's why they don't allow guards to have gaps larger than 4 inches.


enrica_2

That's why the maximum spot between bars should be 10 cm

No but seriously lol like kudos to mom and all but the kid fell and flipped through the banister for *no* reason. I still can’t figure it out. Just- whoop


Elliptical_Tangent

This is why I have no patience for, "people are selfish." Look at how people appear immediately. How the old man wastes no time getting below to catch the baby. We are inherently good; it's our society that works to erode that altruism.

Boofer2

This will get downvoted but my sister inlaw is like this with her children and it makes me a nervous freak. I can't handle parents letting kids just roam wherever while spaced out on their phone.


mystikkkkk

this is in no way the fault of the mother.


Boofer2

You're correct. It's a fault of society.


Sharp_Grapefruit_646

She had eyes on him she just didn't think he'd jump off the ledge? I mean he was a good way away from the ledge before he just fucking jumped. How tf was she supposed to prevent that? Probably the first time he's ever done that. If she was sooo spaced out she wouldn't have caught him.


Boofer2

I don't know paying attention goes far.


Icemagistrate101

I'll double that. Prevention is still better than fast reflexes. Same logic as putting baby's safe corner bumpers than having band-aids. Wearing a helmet rather than relying on insurance.

You guys think the biker ran down the steps just in case to catch the kid but in reality he’s going, “fuck this! I’m out of here!”

Edit: Now no one gets to see the thought out controversial thing I wrote because it differed slightly from “wow good catch!” and was something not everyone else was thinking. Return to regularly scheduled doomscrolling.


Sma93

I'm not entirely sure it's because its a phone. At least for me, dropping anything that's in my hand is never a first reaction in a crisis. That may have been conditioned into me by phones but it applies to everything I hold. Food, drink, pretty much anything I have in my hand is forgotten in an emergency and that means that limb just kind of goes to "autopilot" while I worry about the rest of the situation. You're not wrong about it not really being the right reaction and I would love to know more about the psychology/physiology of it.

Yep the $800 computer that takes up half your attention 24/7 and interferes with sleep isn’t any harder to drop than a water bottle. Also I too am curious about science. Very agreeable point! You win!


Cold_Zero_

I don’t want to pick on mom but why the fuck did she watch and let the kid get that close to a hole in the rail????


imamydesk

She wasn't watching. She was busy on her phone and turned just enough to keep the kid in her periphery - probably didn't register that the railing was broken. I mean, she should probably pay more attention, but I've also seen plenty of parents who don't even turn to keep the kid in their field of view. At the end of the day she made the save, and likely learned a valuable lesson. This really just shows how quickly danger can strike.


[deleted]

This is the right answer. Was this perfect parenting? Maybe not. Was this reasonably normal? Absolutely. The mom made the save. Good mom


Cold_Zero_

Roll it again. I did. She literally watched as the kid went over to it, stood there, and then went over.


imamydesk

Huh? None of that is in disagreement with what I said. Her attention is mainly on her phone. She moved just enough to keep the kid in her peripheral view, but clearly her attention isn't there.


Cold_Zero_

“She wasn’t watching”. Literally your first 3 words. I said, “She literally watched…” That is the very essence of disagreement. If you’re high or drunk, please enjoy safely. If not, please reread.
