Unattended young children are very dangerous in city environments. They are easily frightened, small in size and move very quickly. One could jump right in front of your car, from between parked cars on the side of the road, and cause a tragedy.
Thankfully, this time a car wasn’t involved, but the video posted here does prove the point at hand excellently. A child can be seen running at the beginning of the video, only for him to go off the sidewalk, in between parked cars and straight into the road, and the path of a bicyclist traveling at rather high speed.
The result is a spectacular dive, a few bruises (probably) and a very disoriented rider. The child makes a quick getaway after the incident, running away and out of sight in a matter of seconds.
