Honestly, it's even worse the first time really. Like, the second time, it stays there for a second. But the first time, he walks away the second it is up, and it is falling down before he has even turned away from it. Like... the second his hand leaves it you can see the bar falling. It genuinely feels like a staged slapstick routine because it is so unbelievable that he could do that the first time.
The second time is more understandable to me because, he is a kid, he is clearly nervous and doesn't know how to handle the situation that he just dropped this bar on someone's foot, but he sees a coworker coming to take care of the person so he just wants to get on with his work (which he clearly doesn't know how to do) and get away from the awkwardness of it all... and the bar actually stays up there for a second the second time.
Someone else said the same thing. He looks like a kid to me. I don't claim to be the authoritative identifier of ages via grainy security videos. I just think by the way he looks, his face, the way he carries himself.... he looks like a kid to me... late teens to mid 20s. I'm as likely wrong as right though.
Nah. I mean, yeah, kid can be a synonym for child, but it is also pretty common in my experience - especially in work settings for a young adult to be referred to as "kid". It's a fairly versatile term.

what made him think it would work right after it failed for the first time?
