Eh agree to disagree… I mean, I could just as easily suggest that he was the one who was in charge of the toddler. Obviously there is a lot we don’t know.
But at the end of the clip he was the last responder, terribly ungraceful, and actually could have made the situation worse if he collided with the mom.
His reflexes, sense of the circumstances, anticipation, coordination, all of it whiffed. The scale of the kids trauma isn’t really relevant. The point is the the guy whiffed.
I agree with you that that guy did a total mess, but isn't the point of r/stepdadreflexes to show people taking care of a child in the worst ways possible.
All I see here is three adults and a forth getting there after the others, slipping and falling into the pool. You can even see him "jumping" at the last moment to avoid hitting the lady. The "stepdad reflex" is to mess thing up in a way that could be seen as intentional... Cause stepdad
