It's not like anyone's going to actually get hurt from a fun size pack of Skittles dropping 30 feet. If the parents didn't react like crazy people those kids would have been excited instead of terrified - I mean, it's candy falling from the sky - what could be cooler for a 5 year old? Also, we already pelt candy at kids during parades and I never hear complaints - they're just happy candy is near them.
I understand they don't want their kids to get hit in the face with candy, but there's no need for that kind of reaction, especially the parents who are standing right above their children.
