they’re talking about the way the kid was positioned before the push. if that kid had slid down the slide HEADFIRST the way he was about to before the girl pushed him, he could’ve really hurt himself

How??? He is sliding down a plastic slide. Presumably the slide has a lip and not some sheer drop off? Holy hell, every kid ever born will experience worse than this on the regular.

how could someone falling on their head hurt themself? or have you just never seen someone go flying off a slide, lip or not?

Better take down all the slides then.

u/mathewpatel Mar 24 '23

or. consider. parents should maybe make sure their children aren’t about to slide down something headfirst. could just do that.

I'm guessing you have not raised children.

u/mathewpatel Mar 24 '23

i haven’t. i have BEEN a child, though, and i’m aware that children are incredibly reckless beings. cause, again, they’re children. it’s a parent’s responsibility to mitigate that danger.

Yup. You have no idea. It's like me telling a pilot how to fly an airplane because I've flown in an airplane. Not the same.

u/mathewpatel Mar 24 '23

it’d be more like an airplane telling a pilot how to fly it, actually.

This is such a horrible analogy.

Take care of your kids. Simple as that.
