FAther teaching kid to ride - soiurce Reddit.PNGDad stops kid from crashing bike into parked car (+ link to video)
A video of a father dashing after his son to prevent him from crashing his bike into a parked car has been grabbing a l;ot of attention on Reddit - but not for the reason you might think.
The footage, which you can watch here, shows the father steadying his son's bike on a quiet suburban street before giving him a little push to help him on his way.
The father is jogging alongside his son as the youngster makes his first pedal strokes - then suddenly sprints into action as the nipper veers towards a parked car.
For many commenting on the video on Reddit, however, the quick-thinking father's prompt action to prevent a crash wasn't the most striking thing about the video, with the first commenter observing, "That kid needs a helmet" - an opinion that inevitably has sparked a debate on the subject.

strike the ground proportionally harder with greater force - how do you even make stuff like this up?
Read a few of the comments which seemed quite tame, but couldn't be arsed reading the lot.
