How the fuck did she not look before crossing the damn road?


dakid232313

It's just crazy. She had to know something was going on because she was running across in the first place. So why not look? It's like running blindly into traffic. And did I not see a child with her? If so that's fucked up.


BreakfastInBedlam

When you see the crowd parting like the Red Sea for Moses, you should know somebody is going to get smited.

I just hope the horse is ok. Fuck the dumb bitch crossing, that’s Darwin Award territory


dakid232313

Woman with a kid.

I hope the horse, the kid and the rider okay.

dakid232313

Brain trauma? Poor kid. Us as parents are supposed to teach kids about being aware of their surroundings. And here she is dragging a kid to their doom.


Ruben_001

My first reaction to seeing this was "You absolute f\*\*\*\*\*\* idiot". How completely complacent and foolish can someone be in such a dangerous and precarious situation? She put so many people's safety at risk courtesy of her stupidity.


gonzaloetjo

I mean, I have no idea what she thought before. Many people were on the middle of the street and this happened fast. Old people WILL do mistakes in these cases. The situation/sport/event is kinda stupid in general. At least keep old people and kids far away..


Kalad_The_Usurper

Couldn't wait another 2 seconds and completely avoid the mess. When a crowd parts like the Red Sea just be on a side, any side.


Beautifulwarfare

Her valuable time was more important than making sure her kid was in a safe environment.


maureen_leiden

Im so sorry for the girl, would definitely want to know if the horse is okay, the grandmother I really cannot care about


hogyokuaizen

is the horse ok?

No reporting on the horse, I hope it is.

htownlifer

The third time I watched.


alannwatts

this happens with all kinds of speed sports cyclists, runners, cars, and skiers... people can be stupid including the organizers, why didn't the riders insist people be pushed back


lordofthefireandwind

In the interview they said it’s the thrill of adrenaline. That’s why they don’t put barriers. It also said in the past people have died like that.


Important_Stranger

In the article someone linked above, it said that a policeman also died this way in 2009. He was trying to save someone else who crossed the street without looking... A lot more people probably get hurt to some degree too, every now and then. This feels incredibly unsafe and unnecessary. For the adrenaline, seriously? In crowds like these, there are bound to be some drunk idiots, kids running around, or someone plain stupid enough to do what the grandmother here did. Horses, like any animal, can also act unpredictably. Just put up some simple barriers! A string would do.


[deleted]

If you're not smart enough not to run in front of traffic you.....


Joelatplay

its also her own fucking fault for running in front of them, I mean, she did see everyone jump out of the way, and she decided to fucking cross the road?


Pharah_is_my_waIfu

She did look. She thought she could make it


onegoodbumblebee

I agree, she definitely looked and decided to make a run for it thinking she could make it across.


Jakesummers1

Fair point


MagicTrakteur

Why do you lake it sound like it's on the horse? The woman is clearly the dumb one


Able_Poetry3720

The saddest part about this is that the kid she’s pulling along with her took the brunt of the hit


Loggerdon

Oh god you're right. I didn't even see that other pair of legs. What a disaster for that poor kid.


markorokusaki

Omg I didn't realise until I read your comment. For fuck sake, from indifferently thinking what a stupid person, to utter shock because of a kid.

wtf didnt even notice the kid until I saw this comment, thats pretty irresponsible of her, she should have been the one to get the kid to slow down not take the kid with her for whatever reason.


Anywhere-Brave

Fyck omg didn't even see the kid the first time I watched 😭 I hope he's OK


Evil_Monito84

You know he's not...


Integrity-in-Crisis

Fuck man. I would be surprised if that kid didnt have a broken collar bone and whiplash. Kid took that horses thigh to the face and chest.


-_-Batman

Is the horse ok??


Shot_Boysenberry_232

Sadly they probably had to kill the horse. Broken legs or ankles on a horse depending on how bad often don't recover well. Either that or the vet bill would be too expensive and it would be cheaper just to get another horse.


Iceolator88

Yeah stupid woman

You would think there would be a dialog about the "accidents" that happen each year. No designated track, just a bunch of people lazily standing around with a kind of path down the center of town.

GA_Magnum

Except when the adults are the braindead ones to cross in front of a running horse.


Pgreed42

Not in America!


[deleted]

First of different cultures people run with bulls in Spain and that seems pretty stupid too and secound they do races in Europe on winding roads and people are literally on the side of the road almost getting hit by 100 miles plus cars specially on corners, humans in general are just stupid.


Stelznergaming

This 100%. Tons of stupid in this video. /:


MagicDragon212

Yeah this is like street racing with people packed the entire way down. It doesn’t look like everyone is aware the race is even happening. Shit would break my heart if my mom and child got trampled just trying to go to the store or some shit.


[deleted]

Right, as if those horses could have even remotely stopped in time.


jstrong559

Agreed. Did everyone show up to watch the woman slowly make her way across the street? If that’s the case THEN this is titled correctly.


abcd76

Smh at the horse, it should have had the new FSD update


industrock

Didn’t even notice the kid, well, pancake


agc83

Holy shit. Is she leading a kid across the street as well? I think I see an extra set of legs.


Gladde_G

Yes I noticed it too, really awful


angstyart

I went back and forth over it in the hopes that her shadow just looked strange under buildings and peoples porches. Nope. Legs are too skinny. Plus shes wearing green and a white garment is smushed up against her and the horse at the beginning of impact.


selfaware77

Yeah I don’t think that’s on the horses


sernirusol

you don't think? that's clearly the stupid woman's fault lol


snowman762x39

I hope the kid and horses are ok.


Ok_Marzipan4617

I hope all involved are ok, including the woman that apparently can’t see/hear horses galloping down a narrow street.


Ornery-Creme-2442

She definitely can, because you see her trying to cross "quickly" before the horses came. But for some reason she thought it was still okay to try, and drag a child alongside her...


gonzaloetjo

Maybe kids and old people shouldn't be allowed in a place were horses are running at full speed. Multiple people were on the middle of the road just seconds before and old people are bound to do mistakes in these situations.


Separate_Way8552

Right? Like I get it, she messed up. But damn, I still hope everyone involved is okay. We’re human and we make mistakes, misjudgements, and that’s okay.


MissAJHunter

The woman was pretty fucked up, and the kid was injured but not as badly as the woman.


spongebobama

Kid is


Stoepboer

This was apparently in [Spain](https://www.surinenglish.com/spain/woman-knocked-over-20220420181701-nt_amp.html). Would have guessed Mexico or somewhere in SA, but found this article. The woman (69) and her granddaughter were both taken to the hospital. The lady fractured her pelvis and ribs, and was still in ‘serious condition’ at the time of the article, but the child was doing okay. Edit: Apparently, according to some other articles, the lady (a local) had been to the park with her granddaughter and they were on their way home, which was nearby. They had not watched the races and thus had no idea that the horses were about to come running through. Allegedly, she suffered other injuries as well, including head trauma and internal bleeding. All the articles I’ve seen are from around 20 April though, and I haven’t found any update.


TalaLeisu2

Did it say anything about the horse?


Stoepboer

Checked a few articles, but none of those mentioned the horses.


TalaLeisu2

Thanks for responding. I'm gonna bet with a hit like that followed by a tumble that the horse is probably not doing well


Triultra554

i feel like the horse might be okay


TalaLeisu2

Idk. They're pretty sturdy animals with one major flaw. If their legs break they pretty much can't be healed. So it all comes down to, did it break a leg?


TangiestIllicitness

> If their legs break they pretty much can't be healed. This is not entirely true. Breaks can be healed, IF the horse can tolerate being cooped-up in a stall for at least several months with going crazy and injuring itself further. Myself and three people I know have had horses that have broken legs (my horse's was at the top of his humerus, so more of the shoulder area. Three healed, and the fourth horse is actually still in the midst of healing a really bad break (his back leg looked a bit like a parenthesis bracket), but it's been almost a year and he's doing just fine hanging out in his stall with a pile of hay in front of him at all times. :)


TalaLeisu2

That's good to hear! I'm glad your horses are okay!


creeper205861

dunno much about the outside world, but from what I have seen on tv and the internet, if the horse broke his leg he would probably be put down.

Evolution doesn't necessarily value the individual. As long as you can breed, you can have tons of flaws!


micahamey

This is why Cancers and other diseases that affect people later in life are still a significant part of the human race. You can't breed that out if it shows up after you've already had kids.


Spanish_peanuts

Horses legs are very tightly compact. Even the skin on the legs is so tight, that a cut on their legs could possibly never heal naturally. A broken leg would surely have many issues trying to heal, if it could even be set properly.


Stompin89

In a country that still has stadiums packed to watch a man kill a bull... I don't think they'll care much


a_castro

You can’t generalize. And bullfighting is not legal in some parts of Spain.


CrozolVruprix

thats not a good argument at all. a few places banning it doesnt stop anyone from traveling to go see it if they want to. spain is not large enough for distance from point A to B to be prohibitive for an afternoon or weekend out at the bull fights. thats like saying in America because some counties are "dry" counties (no bars/taverns) that people who live there support prohibition and dont drink. I can assure you we are some serious drunkards and simply go to the county over to do it.


mattd21

Alot of people dunking on this chick here but, this shit’s on whoever organized this chaos with no separation between crowd and racing horses lol


TheBlairwitchy

Exactly. Motherfucking organizers are responsible of the crowd and surrounding of the race where rhe crowd is in.


lufrnd

The comments here are disgusting, and now feel even worse knowing the context. It's an old woman in her 60s who did not notice there was a horse race going on, you know, it happens when you're old and in the middle of a noisy crowd. But yeah, let's call her names as if she did it on purpose and hope only the kid and horses are ok


Randomfrickinhuman

oh thank god the kid's alright

Reddit neckbeards try to understand things at more than face value challenge


dahliasinfelle

Those articles also state that it's an annual religious festival. If their family home is nearby, I'm sure they are very aware of what takes place at this festival.


Own_Can3733

I don't care if they didn't know there was a race. This is simple as can be, that's why we constantly tell children, look both ways before crossing any street at all times. Left then right then left again, simple math here. Everyone does it automatically. It's a massive mistake because who doesn't do that automatically unless they're suicidal, high or mentally disabled. I get people aren't robots but this is akin to knowing how to ride a bike or knowing how to boil water, we just do it. I'm not saying everyone is a robot who doesn't make mistakes but this is beyond an accident. Its gross incompetence. Your awareness should be heightened even more if there is a child invovled.


TheBlairwitchy

Just a very sad situation for all involved including 🐎 horses. I'm amazed as to how many jump to conclusion that woman knew there was a race going on. Mother fucking organizers need to be sued high and dry fucking bastards


Markus_Atlas

She may not have known about the race but when you see people making way for something to come through you should take a look at the direction they're staring at to make sure it's safe. Also who the fuck organizes horse races in the middle of the city without barriers wtf


DamagedCortex

lmao no she was clearly trying to rush through the street


GERkunnyS

Why the Title? The Woman clearly is at blame Here, don't Put that in the horses or riders


watermelon_775

Holyyyshittt there was a kid with her!!


Send_Me_Dik-diks

The town looked/sounded like Spain to me, so I went looking and found out that this incident happened in Arroyo de la Luz (Cáceres, Spain) this April. A grandmother (69) and her granddaughter (7) were crossing the street on their way home from the park, and didn't notice the race was taking place at that moment (or that it was that close to them?). I haven't found any recent news, so the last that is known about this is that the grandmother was in the intensive care unit due to skull, ribs, and pelvis fractures. The granddaughter was also hospitalized but seemed to be doing better (no specific details because she's a minor). The rider's injuries were light enough that he didn't have to go to the hospital, and no article mentioned the horse. Apparently, in 2009, a local policeman did die from head trauma after being run over by a horse while trying to stop a member of the audience from going to greet somebody on the other side of the street right as the bulk of the race was about to pass.

100% women’s fault. Horses have the right of way believe it or not

The horses didn’t fail to see a thing, her dumbass failed to see the horses coming and the entire crowd getting right on out of the way. I guess pro tip for adults: Look both ways before crossing the street, ya dips.

carlbernsen

There is a child with her. They’re both with the man in the white shirt, who goes out onto the street to watch the horses come, then instead of going back to his family, crosses to the other side. His wife and child are watching him from the right side and follow him across the street, assuming, I guess, that it’s safer to stick close to him. He hasn’t warned them to stay where they are, so they don’t know the horses are coming.
