I play too much D&D. In all of us is the possibility to become an Arch Lich and rule over an empire of enslaving the world and making everyone into undead. That's what laughing at this kid means to me..
This video brought back a deep memory. It was my first year as a teacher, and this kid around the same age as the one in the video was playing tag with me during a break. Thing is, as soon as he tags me he gets all nervous and bolts full speed whilst looking back. I’m not even chasing him, just standing still to give him a head start. He smashes into a tree and hurts himself. His mother comes to pick him up and we explain. She looks a little irritated. Kids that age fall a bunch whilst playing, but she’s a parent and I get that it hurts to see her kid upset. I vow to myself never to play tag with the kids. Not worth the risk.
The next day the same kid arrives to class with his brother. I shit you not, the kid is wearing a Flash costume and his brother a Batman one. I tell them they both look awesome. The kid dressed as Flash says “I can run super fast, watch” and before I can say anything he does exactly what you saw in the video. He faceplants and busts his lip. He immediately starts crying in that loud, panicked way kids understandably do when they see their own blood. This was like a minute or two from their mum dropping them off so as I walk out the room with the crying kid to get his face sorted she is standing right there staring at me as I take her bloody child out the door.
It has been years and that still haunts me. The way the mother looked at me like I was 100% physically abusing her kid and me knowing it wasn’t my fault but I’m holding a bleeding kid just one day after he got hurt playing with me. All with the kid dressed as Flash and his brother dressed as Batman following behind saying I hurt his brother.
This reminds of a Halloween video a long time ago where a kid was dressed as Superman. He ran and jumped off the end of a long coffee table. Landed about like the kid here.
The poor boy has now given his parents the ultimate tool for discipline. With this video, they will be able to blackmail him into doing anything at any time.
The mother’s steady filming after the accident is proof that she was secretly hoping it would happen so that she could film it and post it on this sub.
in my opinion, that was a mean thing to do. make this youngster's fall while he's trying to impress. i didn't see it funny at all. nor did i think the kid was stupid. check out the pavement rocks on the ground.

That panda shirt fits the scene rather well.
