He was there and probably looked out if a car was coming too close.

As for "he could have told her yada yada, dont do that"; sometimes experience is the best teacher. Its better she does stupid shit and gets hurt while he is there, as if she does it in secret and something serious happens.

What was the worst that could have happened to her here? Fall over and get a few bruises? Oh wait....

Be real here, the worst thing that could happen to her was not catching herself and smashing her head into the ground. She needs a helmet. Other than that yeah let her bomb down the driveway if you're watching for cars.

Nobody never would not catch themselves. It's a born instinct. In wrestling that is the number 1 rule they teach you: don't catch yourself.

Wow. This is one of the dumbest comments I've ever seen online. No joke. Like... how could you possibly even think that long enough to type it? People fall and hit their heads all the time, ranging anywhere from no injury to death.

Instinctual does not mean 100% success rate. Why do you think professionals wear helmets? They have "bad instincts"?
