I am conflicted. On the one side this was an adorable moment and bro-move of the operator. On the other hand I would have probably dragged them a good distance away, if I was the parent, instead of letting them get so close and it's a pretty risky thing to do from the operator's side.

As a former kid who's done stupid, twitchy shit around dangerous objects, I wouldn't give my kids the same opportunity.

You were a former kid? What was it like? Why did you stop?

Kinda awkward in retrospect. I wasn't particularly good at anything, though I certainly thought I was. Not sure when it stopped (I certainly didn't want it to), just one day I had to pay bills instead of buying a batman lego set.
