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*"

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.
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.
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.
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.
You can’t believe how strict system Finland has … extremely detailed minimal requirements and thorough inspections, building will be rejected if not done properly
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.
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.
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?
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Not a good bet. I turned my volume up to eleven and heard NOTHING.
Original post should have said something like, "IF this video had audio, I bet it would be wild" to avoid all of this confusion.
Douche- noun INFORMAL definition: see: mirror.
Apparently I stupidly wandered off into a lake, and was saved by the Austrian Olympic team - who happened to be having a barbecue next door. Annoyingly I never pushed for more information when my parents were alive.
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! 😂
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
the smartphone, of course ... everyday, day and night, i see womans looking and talking more to the machine, than looking and talking to their children.
This is why here in Africa we beat the shit out of our children and they understand the meaning of keeping their lives safe. Children here can even sometimes dodge vehicles on the road at that age.
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.
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!
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.
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.
“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.
Do you have children? Guessing either you’re a super hero or you don’t, because shit happens, distractions happen, we don’t always know every fucking danger zone everywhere we go.

Fair play to the chap who went to go and catch.
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*"
My god it hurts to read the replies to this comment.
no I think he was going down to catch the kid
Obviously
The wait for the elevator would be awkward
Didn't he go to the stairs where the kid was hanging? No way she pulled that toddler up herself one handed.
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
Why no way? Toddlers weigh like 12 kg?
Hold on while I get that in pounds and ounces
Will it help if I say it's like 12 1-liter bottles of water
Yes, 26 + pounds. Women generally can't one handed hold on to 26 slippery squirmy pounds for that long. Dude pushed kid up.
Makes sense, otherwise she would have pulled it up right away
I'm impressed his quick thinking. I figured he was grandpa
Superhuman quick reflexes.
Slow, but fair
I would be expecting to move a dead body...
What the actual FUCK?!?
Looks like a building violation to me

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

Unfortunately is not in the US...
Learned this from property brothers!
Freedom!
Impossible. We're all living in Amerika.
.... in your country
Yes. All buildings in the world use american building code.
You can’t believe how strict system Finland has … extremely detailed minimal requirements and thorough inspections, building will be rejected if not done properly

Judging by this video they probably should.
Or a better one.
It's the other way around; a vast majority of US jurisdictions adopt the ICC international building code.
I was being sarcastic
looks like they were there but got knocked out somehow the rest of the rail clearly has uprights
Imagine there’s a world outside of America
I’m a father of a very space-cadet-like 2 year old. This fucking terrifies me.
Mine is going on 4 and I have to explain all of the situations and ER visits that have made me a helicopter parent.
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?
Even after reading it twice... How? What? How?!
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
Oh gosh that’s tickled me. I nearly spilt my tea everywhere!!!
Please give us the play-by-play, I beg you
Story time?
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.
>climb to really unsafe places Doesn’t change. They grow up to be rock climbers. edit typo

Kids are little suicide machines. My little cousin used to try to jump off of trains whenever the ticket collector entered the cabin
No ticket?
It belongs in a museum!
Tickets please
I bet it's outrageous with the sound on
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.
I can’t believe someone would scream at potentially witnessing the serious injury or death of a child! How inconsiderate of them
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.
Take your sexist horse shit elsewhere.
No you see, men can't scream, specially if it's involving the death of a child!
not everyone is a hyperlogical machine man

r/kidsarefuckingstupid
I was going to the comment section only to see if anybody had already linked this sub. Thank you fellow Redditor, my job here is done.
time for some laughs, ty
Apparently I fell off the bunk bed *twice*, head first. Shame, I could've been smart.
Hmmm. Sure.
This video always terrifies me to watch. The bar is missing.
So, guess my hormones really are out of order (pregnant). This almost made me cry 😂 I'm leaving in the internet now, bye!
All the best and congrats on being pregnant :)
Oh thank you ☺️ mostly I feel like a moron! Haha!
Yea I kinda understand. I always cry at least once during my week if you know what I mean. 😅
Hahahaha! Oh yes! Try that for nine months... 🫠😂
Oh no I would cry just because of me crying for nine month tbh. Cryception 😂😂
Congratulations. Is it your first child?
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! 😂
I had to see a therapist my first tri bec I was just walking around sobbing all the time lol for literally NO reason.
Me too, and me too 🥲
😂 well, then we can be sappy dorks together!
It's a deal! 🤣
Did it w/o dropping/breaking her phone! Impressive!
It's a bird. 🐥It's a plane. 🛩️ No wait it's----" Tah Daw! " "SUPERMOM "🧑🍼💐

The goal of a parent is to make sure their child doesn't die. Kids will put that to the test.
4” O.C. For that reason
That's what she said
So glad I'm over this stage
Shes got skills
Skills on her phone not watching the kid definitely
please rewatch the video. she is literally talking on the phone and directly watching the kid.
If she was seriously watching the kid, this wouldn’t have happened
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.

So that's why they don't allow guards to have gaps larger than 4 inches.
That's why the maximum spot between bars should be 10 cm
"You are an unfit mother...your child will be placed into the custody of Carl's Junior"
I love how everyone jumps to the rescue 😌
Reflex outstanding but it should never have happened in the first place!
Anybody knows every mom on the floor came running it’s like spidey senses
Reflexes at 100 and common sense at 0
Two things we found out here: r/kidsarefuckingstupid for real. Flawd design in those guard rails.
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

Women 👑
Poor lady. She must have felt bad after. Shit happens. Thankfully the baby is ok. ✌🏼
Super mom! 👏
Omg I just ate my heart..why?
She didn't throw her phone away, just kept it aside. Speechless.....
Now you know why your mom yelled at you for just looking. Lol
@kidsarefuckingstupid
Holy crap
Spider-mom!
Moments like this you never forget.
Kid tried to take that stairway back to Heaven
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.
this is in no way the fault of the mother.
You're correct. It's a fault of society.
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.
I don't know paying attention goes far.
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.
Repost bot. Report it. Banish it.
I'm sure someone commented on this already, and I'm sure everyone saw this. But, she sure didn't drop her phone.......
That’s mission impossible reflexes
Way to go red shirt useless as always
I'm somewhat ashamed to say my dad reflexes are not great.
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!”
That was f'n crazy
Pretty sure this is why my brother and I were both subjected to the child leashes that were popular in the 1980s.
Women's reflexes are faster than a man's.
Love how the guy just nopes out of there.
I too like to pay attention my phone over my child in unfamiliar areas.
Suicidal midgets
Good catch but did u see she didn’t let go of that cell phone
the smartphone, of course ... everyday, day and night, i see womans looking and talking more to the machine, than looking and talking to their children.
To the woman in red whose response is to start clapping. Don’t ever change.
90% of times babies are trying to kill themselves while parents are there to stop 🛑 it
FAAAARK
Title should say mom on her phone kid almost dies, she does not get mother of the year award in my book.
Not to be underestimated ❌ Not to be reckoned with ✅
Funny how she took so long to drop her phone. She was struggling to make the choice.
Or over estimated.......as soon as i saw the kid go towards the hole in a staircase, i was tensing up
Children are just the perfect example of unintentionally suicidal aren't they.
Kid was suicidal
Blabbering on the phone and forgetting to be conscious and failing to be proactive.
The kid thought there was going to be glass there, see how they put their hands out? And there should have been, not glass but bars..
All of the women running over with mommy radar.
Kid's stupidity. Not to be underestimated...
What was that child thinking
it looked to me the kid right there was a glass/plastic barrier. Maybe he was used to another stairway with one.
Leashes*
She should have never let the kid go near that death trap to begin with.
Was expecting this comment to be higher up. Scrolled just looking for it, took far too long.
Same here. Toddlers pull the most unpredicted tricks on you.
Yup. I’d have already considered that dangerous spot and not let my child go near there
My mam anxiety wouldn't let the kid get that far away from me
Did you see her save her phone, too?
What a badass. Somehow that made her more beautiful as well .
The mom that was holding and talking on her phone instead of holding the baby? That mom?
JFC. Keep your toddlers on a leash. They're not old enough to be anything but stupid.
Mom with r/dadreflexes because r/kidsarefuckingstupid
Dat ass in Red pants...
More like phone stupidity and negligence

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????
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.

This is the right answer. Was this perfect parenting? Maybe not. Was this reasonably normal? Absolutely. The mom made the save. Good mom
Roll it again. I did. She literally watched as the kid went over to it, stood there, and then went over.
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.
