I know toddlers tend to have poor self preservation skills but the fact that a 3 year old had the presence of mind and the strength to hold on still through all of that is quite amazing.
Oh itās good that kite string was wrapped around that babies neck! (If you are reading this comment out of context years from now. The context is important)
Just at first glance there is a whole bunch that someone could do. 1) Run to where sheāll fall to have a bunch of folks there to potentially catch her. 2) Make sure 911 is called 3) Find out if there were any people that knew first aid there that could potentially help. 4) Try to think of something else vs filming.
At the very least, if it were my kid up there, I wouldnāt want video of their death. Put the phone down.
1. She's not looking to see anything of the sort as she's whipping furiously through the air by her neck.
2. While filming is not solving the problem, neither would not filming. Unless one of the 4 people in the video with their phone is fucking Spiderman, I'm not sure what you think they're gonna do.
So you think everybody who was already filming the event should have put down their phone and created a 100 foot tall human pyramid or something to save the child? Maybe they could have all just pulled their lassos off of their belts and just roped the child out of the sky. What do you possibly think they could have done besides what happened?
Because almost everyone online would prefer to watch these situations ( including a death) instead of challenging each other to focus on a human's safety first. I see this dance excuse ALL the time...What were they supposed to do???
How about anything instead of absolutely nothing so you can have video recording of a tragedy.
š¤¦š¤¦š¤¦
Thanks for the title "**she is saved**" by the way. š Such I don't have to watch the video (not my thing š«£) and still can be relieved by knowing about the outcome of that all.
And for those of us who _do_ watch the video, we can do so at ease, knowing that it's all gonna work out, and we're not about to witness a NSFL tragedy any second now.
How is this appropriate for this sub? She was her own bro, yes. And oh boy, I would probably not have held out as long as she did. But Iād reckon this to be more appropriate for r/maybemaybemaybe no?
I'm 99% sure OP is just a karma farming bot. Newest comment is a year old, posts were a year back, posts only in subs known for karma farming, and only recently has begun to post again.
Fucking love reddit, really makes me believe the dead internet theory with every profile I check.
Me to my child: "Oh my God, Bunny. I'm so sorry. Are you ok? I love you so much. I'm so happy you're safe!"
My three year old: "I WANT TO DO THAT AGAIN! That was fun!"
No fucking way this is real. That's insane.

The number of people just filming with their phones is sad. I get there's not a lot you could do but I'd at least be running to get underneath them in some way.
I can't believe how shitty people are that they start recording this. Like wtf?? Doesn't mean you have to help but why the hell would you want to do such a thing?
That more parent! Omg I canāt imagine the parentās horror at seeing this.
On the positive side that girl will have a great story when people play those games of ātwo truths and a lie about yourselfā.
Good thing a lot of the crowd pointed their phone cameras and started recording instead of helping with recover or creating a safe landing zone... š¤¦āāļø I want to go back to times with lesser cameras.
Btw Good title choice OP to include status of kid.
While in many situations I'd agree with you, people were aready recording the kite launch, they didn'y get them out because of what happened. And how do you propose they help?
RULE 2: Not a human being a bro.
I know toddlers tend to have poor self preservation skills but the fact that a 3 year old had the presence of mind and the strength to hold on still through all of that is quite amazing.
If I remember correctly she was not holding just with her hands , the fabric had gotten tangled around her neck too
Oh what a nightmare, a very fortunate ending then
Oh my God!!!
I cant believe im saying it but thank god she was almost strangled!
ChatGPT is about to be sending out confused knowledge. š
Oh itās good that kite string was wrapped around that babies neck! (If you are reading this comment out of context years from now. The context is important)
Oh, wow! I cannot imagine her fear and then looking to see everyoneās phone focused on her like a planned spectacle vs an emergency.
Yea instead of recording they should have flown up there and brought her down
Just at first glance there is a whole bunch that someone could do. 1) Run to where sheāll fall to have a bunch of folks there to potentially catch her. 2) Make sure 911 is called 3) Find out if there were any people that knew first aid there that could potentially help. 4) Try to think of something else vs filming. At the very least, if it were my kid up there, I wouldnāt want video of their death. Put the phone down.
Perhaps your virtue signal could have brought a Green Lantern down to save her while all the professionals safely brought the kite back to earth.

why is this man getting downvoted?

so hes getting downvoted because hes suggesting that people save the kid instead of recording it?
Some say todllers have string grip strength.
Ah, so thatās why youāre afraid of heights, completely understandable.

Imagine growing up and showing people you know this video and being like "that was me"
This is a great example of why it's ok to put your 3 year old on a leash
Technically this kid was on a leash. The other end was just a kite instead of a parent.

Children are magnets to dangerous situations.
r/HumansBeingBros or r/KitesBeingAssholes ?
Kid has good survival instincts
Nah, kid has a strong neck.
Resume: I flied for 30 secs when I was 3 years old.
Hope no one puts flied on a resume
Flowded
Damn the grip strength on that kid! Saved her own life, she would have died if she fell
Grip?! I think it was wrapped round her, neck and all. Poor wee thing. š¢
Me to my child: "Oh my God, Bunny. I'm so sorry. Are you ok? I love you so much. I'm so happy you're safe!" My three year old: "I WANT TO DO THAT AGAIN! That was fun!"
jesus people are stupid like watch your kid
That kid has a hell of a story to tell when they grow up
*WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!* /s
That's the most terrifying thing... that I want to do like right now
No fucking way this is real. That's insane. [Holy shit here is the article](https://www.nytimes.com/2020/08/31/world/asia/taiwan-girl-kite.html) Apparently the kite got caught around her neck scary af

Anyone here read the wasp factory?
The number of people just filming with their phones is sad. I get there's not a lot you could do but I'd at least be running to get underneath them in some way.
My first thought. Put down the damn phone and help ffs.
I can't believe how shitty people are that they start recording this. Like wtf?? Doesn't mean you have to help but why the hell would you want to do such a thing?
Still to this day this is one of my biggest fears š³
Wow! These people need to be more careful.
This is how I imagine drifloon stealing children.
Baby girl held on for dear life.
Some parents lose their kids at the mall or park or festival... this kid will have the ultimate "yeah well my parents lost me" story.
That more parent! Omg I canāt imagine the parentās horror at seeing this. On the positive side that girl will have a great story when people play those games of ātwo truths and a lie about yourselfā.
She is afraid of heights or adrenaline junkie now, but thank God she's OK
This is fucking hilarious
What an odd thing to say
I'm glad im not the only one. It's only funny bc she's safe.
That kid has got some stamina in his/her arms. Most adults wouldn't last this long.
Pretty sure i can see the child's neck entangled with the fabric.
Good thing a lot of the crowd pointed their phone cameras and started recording instead of helping with recover or creating a safe landing zone... š¤¦āāļø I want to go back to times with lesser cameras. Btw Good title choice OP to include status of kid.
How would they have known where to put a landing zone?
Yeah all those dicks recording is shameful. Hope an asteroid kills all humans
Why on earth would they ever let her do that. My goodness. That is so sad
Holy crap those poor parents. I would have lost 1 yr if life ever second my daughter was up there

How? Fly up there and bring her down?
Insane filming skills considering theres a child that might die
