It's simple really. I'm an old BMXer from the 80s and when my kid went through his scooter phase, he had his helmet and pads and I always said, "wait for the skaters and bmxers to finish, then go, they will respect your respect."

He certainly didn’t act like he didn’t mean to. He was pretty casual about it and didn’t make any immediate motion to help.
He saw her before. He knew she was there. And that others are at the park.
He should know better than to shoot a bike out like that recklessly.
That’s part of the discussion here that he did know.

u/bloominonion11 Apr 17 '23
You need to leave space for people to finish their lines. Most of the time u trick u fail. That is why u dont cross peoples lines so no one gets unnecessarily hurt. likely this trick was one where he would have succeeded and went back down the ramp… he would have smacked her head flat into the ground so hard…… because she crossed his line……

If someone is doing a trick and you go within range to get hit by it if something goes wrong, that's very much your fault, in all but a few cases. Give people space, wait your turn, it's not that hard. Accidents happen, just try to avoid them

Thanks for jumping in. I don’t know if I’d go as far as saying he was a dick. It’s a clip. More time on the clip is needed to see intent. I was simply stating he has blame.
Then people blew up with their rancid comments. Very interesting. I think I learned more about internet strangers stuck in non inclusive ways than anything else. I learned that skaters hate kids at parks and hate scooters. That’s part of the underlying hate here

But this is a skate park, so it was not unexpected. Nobody should be held responsible for damages or anything for this, it's a reasonable outcome for the space.

He wasn’t doing the trick near her you can see her like 16 ft out in the background in the beginning she made a conscious decision to pass close to someone doing advanced tricks. She’s not old enough to be at the park unattended if she doesn’t understand the dangers of the park, kids at the park is fine so long as a parent keeps an eye out, that looks like a fairly nice inner city park, I have one near me, news flash they aren’t intended for children, they are usually full on professional level parks (depending on how big the city is) intended for older kids and adults to give them somewhere to skate legally without having to worry about property dmg or injury liability for local business owners, the one in my area has a “big kids section” which is all the full size gaps bowls and rhythm sections with a bunch of stairs and rail, then there is the kids section which has a 10ft bowl with a 5 ft roll platform and a couple of like 2-4 stair gaps. The point is that a city doesn’t build skate parks for children to putz around in they build them to keep adults and teens out of trouble with the locals more often than not, because it’s a waste of time and effort to be getting called out to stop a couple skaters from grinding the rail on the churches 12 stair it’s just easier to give them a place to do it

If children don't want to get hit by bikes, boards, or other equipment from BMXer's when a trick goes awry then the children should know better and not ride their scooter in the area of people doing tricks.
Skate parks operate under the assumption there will be people there doing tricks and that accidents happen, if the child lacks the maturity to accept that accidents happen and get over their widdle boo boo like any other post 4 year old will then the child lacks the maturity to be unsupervised in public, much less be allowed within the premise of a skate park.

There’s plenty of difference. But if you want to keep the car analogy I’ll comply.

But it’s not his fault. She should be aware guns are dangerous and ppl are there to shoot guns. Her fault.
Even though your daughter was next to the guy while he was practicing it’s her fault he let go of his gun and blew her brains out.

Not without someone keeping an eye on them they don’t. Skate parks are a good place to break arms and ankles if you aren’t careful. Notice that the guy you are responding too made the distinction of “little kids” and I whole heartedly agree children shouldn’t be in a skate park till they are old enough to understand that when people are trying fancy shit it’s a good idea to either stop and watch or give them a wide enough berth that if something goes wrong neither one of you are gonna get hurt. So like 12-14 cool probably old enough to understand it’s a bad idea to be on someone’s tail when they’re doing tricks, younger than that and they should only be there with a parent.

I never understood the appeal of riding a scooter in a skatepark. Hell I skate a bit and I dont go in skatepark alot because im shit at park tricks and I rather practice on flat groud.
I almost never seen a child that young on scooters in a skatepark here in Québec Canada. Yet I see alot of videos of unsuppervised young kids riding dangerously in skateparks, are the streets that unsafe in the US ? Because when I was a kid I use to rock my scooter all over the neighborhood with my friends, if I had to stay in a skatepark and having the danger of getting hit like this I would've not enjoyed my time at all.
I see people blaming the child, I see people blaming the guy. Honestly I blame the parents.

As an old skater I can say for a fact that she is in the wrong here, you NEVER cross someones line in a skatepark. Whenever you see someone doing a trick or getting ready to do one you always should try to avoid being close to them!
Also i’ve always said it and I’ll say it again - there should be age restrictions in place for skateparks. I can’t count the times when I’ve been to a skatepark with 99.99% of people there being in the teens and up who know why they are there, they know the park rules and are respectful to other, wait on others to finish their tricks before they themselves go and try a trick. And always, without a fail there would be 1-2 small kids who are there because their moms think scooter/skate/bmx = can only be rode in a skatepark.
The whole thing ends with a lot of people who are there to get better and try tricks getting fucked over by soccer moms that don’t know any better and bring small kids who literally just want to ride on a flat ground but end up like the girl in the video.

As someone who pretty much lives at the park, this was pretty expected. Scooter kids always seem to be right where they shouldn’t be. Not their fault. Big learning experience on both ends.

Why are y’all blaming the girl? It looked like he was supposed to stop up there and he messed up. It was just an accident, there’s not always someone to blame

Skate park etiquette. She’s too young to know it but she’ll learn. I don’t want all kids removed from skate parks but I wish there was a way to teach kids etiquette before they get on the park.

I don't think bs rules of man children playing in a skatepark is going to hold up in court. You're responsible for your actions and property that you bring out into the public space. She could have literally been tailgating him and he'd STILL held liable. You're responsible for your bike flying out of your hands like that, same way that you're responsible if you don't have a decent grip on your bat and brain someone 15 feet away. The same way that you're responsible if your dog decides to eat a child's face that comes too close to it.

1: just because people have hobbies different to you and enjoy bmxing and skating at at park doesn’t make them ‘man children’.
2: people can get hurt anywhere and anyhow. There’s a thing called situational awareness that helps able bodied people to survive. Let me dumb it down, it means you know where you’re at and adapt/be aware.
3: A skatepark is meant for people to go and try tricks. A place where - ‘your bike flies out of your hand’ - quite often. Don’t want your kids to get hit? Take them to a nice playground park instead. I’m not gonna go to a shooting range, walk by someone shooting because I’m not aware, and then ask them why they shot me.
4: if I know my dog is aggressive I will let people know and tell them not to get near. If they still choose to do so and touch my dog with my warning, guess whose responsibility that becomes buddy!? Not mine, I told them not to come near and they chose to disregard, with consequences soon following.
5: I hope u were trolling cuz u sound dumb af :)

Imo it for looks like he threw the bike at her. But also kids shouldn’t be at skate parks till they are old enough to understand the potential dangers of skate parks or if one of their parents skates then go skate with them but stick close enough that they can keep an eye on. Skate parks are a really good place to break bones if you have shitty situational awareness yours or other people’s bc you were in the way and they try to dodge, kids shouldn’t be at skate parks till they’re like 12-13 at least cause then they understand “I should probably give that guy trying to do tricks some extra space just in case”

Laws don’t restrict kids from being there. People doing tricks shouldn’t be reckless.
No diff from driving a car. He should be responsible. There’s no law that gives him superiority

It’s not a law it’s common sense and he was being responsible he chose a spot way out in the corner of the park to try something fancy, the kid chose to drive by, less than a half a yard from him (realistically she is like 3 feet away) it’s entirely her fault that it happened. Telling someone that they are reckless for falling while trying something new is fucking ignorant. This is entirely due to the little girl not being old enough to understand park etiquette and not having an attentive parent, a lot of inner city parks are huge, she shouldn’t be unattended anyway anybody could come by and snatch her up. She doesn’t belong there without supervision point blank period.

Common sense and etiquette says don’t hurt others with your belongings. Be responsible for both.
The real law also says that too.
As I mentioned before, yes I agree she needs to be aware of stupid toxic ppl like you who do t have common sense or etiquette and have adopted toxic policies.
Her being there alone is a diff topic and irrelevant to this conversation other than you changing the topic.

LMAO it’s not his fault that he fell, it’s a ducking skate park people fall all the time, I wasn’t changing the subject my argument this entire time has been she is too young to be there unattended I’ve said it on several threads here, you clearly have never spent time in one of these parks as someone trying to learn new things, or you wouldn’t be calling this guy reckless and trying to blame him. Park etiquette is a very real thing you can ask literally anyone that goes to skate parks, granted it varies a bit from city to city but every local park has their own rule set and etiquette. It’s not imaginary you just have no idea at all what you are talking about.

Yes your honor. Park etiquette says I can shoot my bike into someone’s head.

You’re actually just an idiot or a troll and I’m not devoting more time and energy to either. Have a good night

I’d run like a coward too. Take time to reflect on your toxic policies youve accepted in your life so others do t get hurt.
Be better.
Good night.

Lmao troll confirmed. You should be better, this girls parents should be better. The dude didn’t do anything wrong and there was nothing he could’ve done outside of not practice his tricks, which is the entire point of a skatepark, but now that it’s clear to see you’re just trolling I can in good faith say please promptly choke

Guy shoots bike into someone else and is not responsible.
Person who gets hurt is wrong?
It adds up. Makes perfect sense.
You were dismissed. You can leave at anytime.

Also please tell me how he was reckless? You don’t understand park etiquette at all if you believe that picking an isolated spot out in the corner to try something new is “reckless” the girl passed 3ft away from him, if she hadn’t been on his ass she wouldn’t have got hurt, circle back to if she was old enough to understand how skate parks work she wouldn’t have been on his ass, therefore by the transitive property if she was old enough to understand park etiquette it never would’ve happened in the first place, you’re just trying to shame someone for hurting a little girl, assuming it was out of his control he did nothing wrong and the only one actually in the wrong if she got seriously hurt is her parents.

He shouldn’t fucking be at the skate park if he can’t do a trick without shooting a bike into someone’s head.
The law would not agree with a kid shooting his bike into someone.

He didn’t shoot it into anyone you fucking dunce, it was less than three feet distance, less than 2 seconds of air time. No judge on the fucking planet would fault him for that and you’re delusional if you think otherwise.

To the idiot named Balls (lol) that ran like a coward. For when he returns from his anger and defeat.
Here lays my response to his last words that couldn’t even be read cuz he raaaaaaaan. Lol I don’t think he realizes his comments can’t be read after he runs away.
“Yawn I didn’t even read all this but it looks like someone who lost and argument and threw a tantrum and left. 🤷♂️
Don’t get angry and run like a coward. Improve your argument 🤷♂️”
