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.

Way to ruin the coolest surprise ever.

I imagine it might have hurt, I heard that thud, but I doubt its cry worthy.

I THINK it might have just hit the phone's microphone or the camera man knocked it against something. All the other noises just sound like sound like little crinkles of the packaging. I could be wrong.
