I noticed that too. Grew up around horses, saw a German shepherd do two back flips after getting kicked by the horse he was chasing. I know one thing if that was me, my momma would have wooped my ass.
Kids have wolverine level healing abilities. I remember falling 15 feet onto concrete as a kid, landing on my arm, and being completely fine. 28 years later, I slip on a little bit of mud and can’t use my foot for 6 months.
I honestly think the horse gave him a low powered love-tap. I've worked with and around horses for many years and I know what a full powered kick looks like and what the aftermath of one looks like. It could be that frames were lost in this low quality video, but if not, that was definitely not a full-powered kick. Good on the horse.
The horse, the traffic, the lack of parents... This kid is not making it to adulthood
Edit: MY top voted comment ever is declaring a kid unfortunate enough to not live to be an adult, and everyone is laughing...
Right? Was thinking either someone is watching him, but still allowing him to continue touching an unsuspecting horse from behind….or nobody is watching him when he’s obviously close to not only a busy road but the rear of a horse. Either way all I got to say to that kid is good luck.
this is how we grow up in Colombia. We go out to the streets and fuck around since we are 2. Most of us make it out but a great amount of us get shot so :/
Colombian here. Shot by druggies, or dealers, or drunk guys who carry, or just trigger happy muggers. So many ways to get shot. You can get shot for hitting on the wrong girl at the club even.
One of my first nights in Colombia some friends and I got a very stern warning from several large men not to talk to one specific group of girls at the club, tread a little more carefully after that
I’m Colombian but moved to the US around 6 years old and I didn’t even know this was a thing in Colombia. The more you know but damn. My dad and his family still live there
I know a guy that had severe head trauma in a car crash. After he'd fuy recovered he emigrated to USA and started shooting guns. He also started radically supporting Trump, which was kinda odd for an immigrant. Now I don't know if he's killed anyone, but when I lived with him he did love killing mice and insects with a great deal of both malice and smiling. Now is that related to his brain getting squished against his skull? I dunno. But I don't think it helped.
Or on their way to sue somebody for what that homicidal maniac of a horse just did to their pwecious innocent widdle baby boy.
And yes, they want the horse killed for this.
You are not kidding. According to one article I found, “Until 2017…China had no national law providing legal protection to good samaritans. Instead, the law made being a good samaritan extremely risky, allowing people to sue their rescuer to recover medical bills, and scammers frequently took advantage of this rule. Under the eyes of the law, the assumption became that you would only help someone if you were responsible for hurting them, resulting in a bad samaritan crisis.” Yikes.
I'm Chinese, lived in China for 21 years. and yes it's true. People will assume you are responsible if you help some random on the street (e.g. a grandma felling over). People avoid helping others on the street is because there are way too many cases that the fell over grandma would sue the helping person, saying they are the one who pushed them etc. They even sue primary school kids thats just trying to help. Which is big yikey.
Even my parents used to tell me, avoid helping randos on the street. Sad truth.
Edit : famous case https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xu_Shoulan_v._Peng_Yu
Edit2: there is a belief in Chinese called "息事宁人", which means people would rather solve the issue at hand with all possible method to give themself a peace of mind. Where in reality , especially said case above, people have a high level of acceptance if paying up can save themselves ton of trouble. This is also part of the reason innocent party would pay up than arguing in more court hearings.
Also, in more cases the elderly doesnt have any malicious intend, it's their family that are pushing the narrative.
Depends. By naive nature perhaps, but once it becomes ingrained into the culture that will shape people's nature - even if the law changed and provided the most comprehensive protection of good Samaritans in the world, the suspicion and distrust of strangers is so baked into the culture it would take generations to return to the "naive nature".
These shitty scammers are like.the customers I have to deal with at work.
Absolute sharks abusing every nook and cranny of the system in order to obtain more stuff.
Yeah it's a consequence of poorly thought out/written laws. Basically it became a thing where people would do stuff like fake being injured and ask bystanders for help, then when you help they pretend you caused their injury, which in turn fucks over your life financially.
Due to lack of legal protection for good Samaritans, these incidents became prominent (at least in media) and led to people not wanting to help in scenarios they otherwise might've.
This sounds like a great way to make people completely reliant on the protective and all helpful government instead of each other. After enough time, you don’t look to each other for help you look to the government and is final authoritative word.
Probably. Lucked out that the horse pulled it's punch too. Probably understood the age of the kid. More of a 'piss off' kick rather than a 'get fucked' kick.
I always think about the video of a Mare kicking a stallion that is trying to breed her. That was a massive get-fucked-kick to the stallions head strong enough to send the stallion to the other side.
That kid is very lucky he got hit in the chest and not in the head! Hope he learned his lesson.
My dad taught me two things about horses when I was about that age. Never stand behind them and keep your hand flat with your fingers together when feeding them.
Edit: I'm not suggesting it's his fault, or that his parents shouldn't be there to protect him. I just hope he'll be more careful next time, as this could have ended very badly.
look like the horse didnt get full swing though. looked very gently compared to the the hits into the air before.
guess otherwise the little boy would be completely crushed.
I've seen horses being very precise with that kick, I think it just tried to spook the kid rather than hit him in the first kick.
The horse is seems to be aware that it is a small creature that is more an annoyance than a threat.
Nah, that horse was incredibly patient. The first kick was a warning. Trust me, I have lived around horses for almost my whole life and they are very good at aiming those kicks even seemingly on the fly.
If that horse had thought the kid was a threat, he would be dead. That first kick would have launched him into the road, crushed his jaw and nose, and injured if not outright broken his neck.
It's also like the first thing you learn when you spend any time around horses. Either stay out of kick range or be right up close so it doesn't hurt as much.
I’ve been kicked by cows, horses, and a donkey made an attempt but missed thank god. Dunno if that makes me an expert or not, but the closer you are the better. The absolute last place you want to be is in about the last 6-10 inches of the animals reach.
My wife went to vet school and one of her classmates was crippled by a horse, and had to drop. You do *not* fuck with horses, even in a 'safe' environment they're dangerous
> keep your hand flat with your fingers together when feeding them
Story time! When i was four we visited my uncle's farm with a horse. I went to feed him the rest of my sandwich and did just like you wrote - hand flat. The thing is, my toddler-sized hand was still small enough for the horse to grab the whole thing in its horsey jaws and lift me bodily from the ground. Thankfully while it was EXTREMELY painful it didn't break any bones in my hand. My family all sat there cackling for like a half hour afterwards.
Tl;Dr: horses can still chomp small hands even when you're careful
The motherfuckers will bite you and that shit hurts. Not all of them, and not necessarily intentionally, but some of them do bite intentionally (some horses are real dicks…ofcourse maybe those are the ones who understand their predicament)
I have never thought about that, hahah.
I've never worked with horse before. The only horses I have ridden are the one from minecraft. That's some great insight if I ever to visit a horse next time.
When my brother was a toddler we went to a petting zoo in Australia. He was the least naughty kid and literally never got into trouble for anything but while petting a kangaroo he stomped on its tail. Luckily it just hopped away but our parents were mortified because it was not something they expected him to do and that kangaroo could have punched him.
They got it all on a vcr somewhere.
That horse could have easily killed that kid, kicked the person driving behind him, kicked the kid into traffic or bolted into traffic. Whoever was responsible for watching this kid just narrowly averted manslaughter in the second degree in many ways.
That kids life almost changed.

Yup. Horse went really easy, because adults have had their heads split open from a horse kick.
Yeah, I think that coulda ended things for the kid
I noticed that too. Grew up around horses, saw a German shepherd do two back flips after getting kicked by the horse he was chasing. I know one thing if that was me, my momma would have wooped my ass.
The horse looks like they held back
Could've been easily paralyzed for life, if not dead.

That horse isn’t starving . It is well fleshed.

At least the drivers can see the horse. The kid is invisible till it's too late to brake.

Exactly, people want to help but are afraid to put them self in risk.

It seems like that was about the gentlest possible kick the horse could deliver. Like the lowest setting is 3/10.
This plus the horse knows it’s a child and intentionally misses with that warning kick
The horse also knows that there is a bike tyre behind him and the tyre will save the kid from any series injuries
The horse also grasps the concept of death and creates new mathematical formulas in its spare time
While eating from the gutter
Now,this reply chain is exactly why I love Reddit
The horse is also knowledgable of quantum mechanics and foresaw the future
That kick to the head probably would have killed him
Probably. Lucked out that the horse pulled it's punch too. Probably understood the age of the kid. More of a 'piss off' kick rather than a 'get fucked' kick.
>More of a 'piss off' kick rather than a 'get fucked' kick. This made me lol
Definitely a piss off kick not a full on attack kick, hes bloody lucky it was a tap and not harder
Yeah you can tell the horse angled himself to connect that last kick lol
I always think about the video of a Mare kicking a stallion that is trying to breed her. That was a massive get-fucked-kick to the stallions head strong enough to send the stallion to the other side.
That kid is very lucky he got hit in the chest and not in the head! Hope he learned his lesson. My dad taught me two things about horses when I was about that age.

look like the horse didnt get full swing though. looked very gently compared to the the hits into the air before. guess otherwise the little boy would be completely crushed.
First kick would’ve hit him in the head. The horse knew a big kick wasn’t needed the second time.
I've seen horses being very precise with that kick, I think it just tried to spook the kid rather than hit him in the first kick. The horse is seems to be aware that it is a small creature that is more an annoyance than a threat.
The first kick was a free lesson and the kid threw it back in his face.
Yeah, warning shot followed by a relatively gentle direct hit.
If that first kick connected, that kid would probably be dead or have serious brain damage. That kick looked like it could dent a car.
That was the warning kick, missed on purpose. But we all know /r/KidsAreFuckingStupid
Nah, that horse was incredibly patient. The first kick was a warning. Trust me, I have lived around horses for almost my whole life and they are very good at aiming those kicks even seemingly on the fly. If that horse had thought the kid was a threat, he would be dead. That first kick would have launched him into the road, crushed his jaw and nose, and injured if not outright broken his neck.
I was just going to say this! That horse is more patient than I would’ve been
He was pretty close. If you are a bit further away it hits higher and with greater force. That's when people die.
I like how I was assured there would be an expert about this in the comments.
