Well, if i was this child’s parent, i would have a grab-bag of emotions here…
Sure you could question their skills, their speed, their distractions, their thought processes… but, you just can’t skip the fact that you can still question them..

Looks like the vehicle did its job protecting its cargo, as did these young ones do there part, wearing their safety restraints. Sounds like they maaAAAaay need to slow it down, or remove a few distractions, but this is surely an opportunity for improvement that not everyone gets.

They do need to count their blessings.

I like stories that end with minor injuries, and everyone able to go car shopping again!
