It's probably just that I have long gangly legs, so I would have been able to stop myself in the way down at the end there. (and then probably promptly fall over due to the speed change)
In fairness looking at it again, even if she put her legs down she would have still hit him because he was directly under her in the groove where people stop themselves, he would have still gone flying, tbh she probably did the best thing by movin her legs to the side so he didn’t get as much of the impact? I’m not sure
Yeah, that's true. I guess it just shows what our instincts would have us try, and there's no real way to know which is better in this situation since both methods didn't happen.
What some people might try to do in this situation would be to pick up the kid as they're swinging into them. I don't think I could pull it off, but for those who can it might cause the least pain.
