Common....
Simply put, when you see one kid run across that is enough to adjust your riding. imho, this was 100% avoidable AND unacceptable. Kids are like deer, there is almost always more than one, and they will do exactly what you don't expect them to.

Because this is seemingly so simple & obvious, it makes me wonder if he wasn't concentrating and his distracted-autopilot was in charge. It's something that probably most of us do sometimes. I made a rule for myself quite a while back that I would never drink any alcohol and then ride (not a drop) and I would try to avoid riding at all if I didn't feel fully awake, alert and generally fully functioning.

Wide-angle lens makes video look a lot faster than actual.
But yeah, once that 1st kid pops out, you should slow to crawling speed. |

He was going way too fast for a parking lot, even without the obvious activity going on.

That's hard to watch...
As noted - no reason to accelerate that hard and shift up like it's a frickin' entrance ramp or something. It's a parking lot - limited visibility and a huge possibility that something is going to cross your path unexpectedly. Could have easily been a car backing out and he would have punched it pretty hard. Hopefully the kid was OK. |
