How to handle a collision with a kid on the hill/trails
that mom was very understanding. most of the time when i see videos like this, the parent flips shit on the guy skiing/snowboarding/biking/etc., even though the kid is usually the main cause of the collision.
biker 100% at fault. pedestrians have right of way, always.
it's the same thing with skiing: people in front of you always have right of way, it doesn't matter if gapers were standing in the landing, they were in front.
bring the downvotes, this is the way the real world works.

How was hes supposed to stop? It was after a hill, he had decent speed and the kid was on the trail.
Have you ever heard of look both ways before you cross the street? Pedestrians do not always have the right of way, for example, you cannot just run onto the 400 highway, get hit, and claim that your were in front, so its the vehicle drivers fault.

That is true, but with most situations its to late to pull back. I rarely see people just ride straight into people because they didnt want to turn.

1. pedestrians do not ALWAYS have the right of way
2. if someone was standing in the landing it IS their fault, almost all resorts make that explicitly clear
3. if you dont know anything about liability in a recreation context , please dont claim that you do
My problem is the mountain makes a designated area for us to jump, hit rails, and go fast and these fucking morons come in and act like it's the beginner slope. If you're not in the park to use the features or stay to the side out of the flow then get the fuck out

youre so out of your element i can't imagine why you are trying to argue about this. what you said isn't even necessarily true when a car hits a pedestrian..in fact, in some cases the pedestrian can be charged for damages if they are found to be at fault. your nonsense isn't worth responding to at any more length but i'd suggest you read up before talking about this subject again
Most bike parks / sanctioned DH trail areas have their own responsibility code and almost always include a little blurb about how to never ride up, or walk on/up the trails. Parents just aren't being smart enough, we all know that kids can just go cruising the second you take your eye off them so just hang out in a safe environment to begin with. It's like deciding to have a family picnic with a 3 year old right next to a freeway and no fence. Stupid.

'Do not stop where you obstruct a trail, or are not visible from above.'
qmackI've seen this video a few times now and that mom is a stupid bitch , what the fuck is a 6 year old black kid doing at a skatepark on your birthday?
Like his mom should hit up chucky cheese or some shit for him. Stupid parents these days.
What the fuck does the kid being black have to do with it

Because that's not the case in other scenarios. It's like distracted driving, if the distracted driver crashes into another car that's in its way, then it's obviously the distracted driver's fault.
In this case, the kid didn't know what he was doing, he was in a blind spot. The biker didn't see the kid and acted fast by using the brakes and the kid ran into the direction that the biker was steering in. The mother even knew it was her kid's fault.

Thats not true bud. if i hit a jump and landed on a kid its not like i could have avoided it... that whole paragraph makes me want you to jump off a bridge
this seems like one of those situations you cant really do anything but ask "are you ok?". i feel bad for the kid to live with that mom, who just clocks a random skateboarder who hits a kid on accident.

So I suppose if Someone jumps in front of car on the highway, it's the car's fault? If someone stands under someone flying through the air in a place that they are allowed to, it's the person in the air'a fault? Fuck off

Its only considered your fault if you are riding/biking/skating/driving in an area that is not meant for high speeds. If you are doing any of these activities in areas designated for high speeds like a terrain park, bike park, or skate park it is never and will never be considered your fault if you hit somebody especially is they are standing in a blind spot that IS MADE for people to land at high speeds like this bike landing or a park jump landing. Resorts make it EXTREMELY clear that people should never be standing in blind areas.
Some little kid cut me off, and i took him out. I got up, made sure the kid was fine, and then started to help the little kid get his skis back on (he was like 4 or 5). A few seconds in this woman comes skiing down, yelling in what sounded like russian, i had no idea was going on and she was so pissed. I tried to explain the situation, but all i got back was "kgjbaaksld kjefzttul!!!." i gave up and just skied away.

Could not disagree more with you. This would be like if there was someone skiing across a landing of a jump in a line. You cannot have a spotter for every landing so this would mean it was your fault you hit the kid? No. The kid did not belong their and the biker was on the track.

Get out of here you dirty troll.
Let me guess your process behind this terrible post:
1. Click link to pinkbike
2. Read through comments
3. Notice well executed trolls (ex: "Why would you ride through A FIELD OF CHILDREN?! Obviously the riders fault.", "COMPLELTY riders fault!!!! The kid was just counting pebbles on a downhill trail sheesh")
4. Think - "OoOooo00o tiem too trololol the sh!t out of NS liek theise guiys!!!11!12 hehehahahoohoo"
5. Type and post the first thing that comes to mind.
Or you're not trolling and you are just an incompetent swine. In which case, go wander onto a highway and claim it was the driver's fault for killing you.
