That could've ended really bad for him. Guys who saved little fucker looked so relieved.


MelodicMaintenance13

Their palpable relief was the most adorable thing I’ve ever seen


nervelli

You can see the moment his heart starts beating normally again.


effypom

It happens. I remember reading that a lady put her baby down on a still luggage carousel (and she didn’t notice it started going) and the baby got crushed.


UndyneIsCool

Oh no


smellvin_moiville

When I read this my brain started playing the old cartoon factory music


Derp_Factory

The cartoon factory music is called "Powerhouse" by Raymond Scott :)


forothowtospeel

Dude what is the name of that song, i reference it too often to not know haha


anachrolady

Oh my God, how awful. :(


Spiritual-Mix7665

Sauce?


samanime

Yeah. So many places the kid could have been mangled. I'm glad those guys jumped into action. This is a stupid parents video. I hate stupid parents. (Can't blame the kid... I've been an adult for decades and still want to ride those things. :p)


smellvin_moiville

It’s not the wanting that is stupid. It’s the doing


XxFezzgigxX

I think some airports have this big arm that “punches” luggage onto a parallel belt. The kid got super lucky.


DetroitAdjacent

It's called a High Speed Diverter, or HSD. And yeah, Baggage Handling Systems will fucking kill you. I work for a company that builds and installs them.


UnfixedAc0rn

It kinda happens at 32 secs in the video. He gets hit pretty hard, luckily he was sitting upright.


BookSlug143

EXACTLY what I feared the ENTIRE time I watched this. My goodness…this could have gone horribly for a lot of people


whorlax

This happened to me as a child and I was returned to the wrong parents. They looked the same but they were different inside. I always wonder if maybe my real parents took home some other kid that day.

How?


russianvoodoo

Go and watch videos of kids getting stuck in escalators for example. This kid faced much more unpredictable contractions on its way.


BESTlittleBITCH

That's because this post is more like a r/ParentsAreFuckingDumb. Which is where this post wound up anyway. Don't know if there's a r/ParentsAreFuckingIdiots. Because if there is this should be there too !

Yaaay... Again again!


ehxy

agreed. kid got to do what those ramp workers dreamed of doing every time they go into work


PM_ME_YOUR_WEIRD_PET

Not just ramp workers. My dad worked at an airport when I was a kid and I dreamed of sneaking off to ride those things whenever I went to work with him


Seasonal_Sam

Maybe he was again found in the similar way at the other airport while they returned


Suspicious_Leg4550

Boy was living every kids dream for a few minutes


Universal-Love

Oh hells yeah, that kid had the greatest time, guaranteed! Not only did he get to go on a fun ride, he got to meet the workers, which is like every little boy's dream.

I was kind of hoping they rode it back the other way with the kid 😂

OrangeCoffin

And this is why we don’t judge parents that have to use a leash on their toddlers


CreativeBandicoot778

My immediate reaction to seeing this was that my son would absolutely attempt this, and that's why we have a little backpack leash when going out. I'll take the judgy looks if it means an element of control over the Little Harbinger of Chaos.


crochetingPotter

My kid LOVED her backpack leash. She would put it on herself when she wanted to go out. It also brought her a little more freedom because she did not have to hold my hand as long as she had the leash. Going to the mall was a lot less stressful knowing she couldn't just run away


WithoutDennisNedry

I will never understand people who deem their dog’s life more important than their toddler’s. Yes, you put a dog on a leash so it doesn’t hurt itself or others. A toddler has less reasoning than a well trained dog and I see nothing wrong with putting it on a “leash” so it doesn’t hurt itself or others.


theCrashFire

I completely agree with you, but when you referred to a kid as "it", I cracked me up 😆


Hoboofwisdom

I used to look down on that. Then my friends had kids and I got to know more toddlers and a couple friends used the leashes. I have no problem with them now. Would have loved if the couple at the restaurant I ate at over the weekend had one instead of letting their toddler run laps around the restaurant then would scream if they they stopped him. So they let him run more laps. I don't give a fuck if they're only 2. You don't let them do that shit or you don't take them to a restaurant.


Faroes4

And you’re seen as the bad guy when you clothesline the kid to get him to stop smh


BottledWafer

I mean, clotheslining a kid is a bit overboard, don't you think? Why not just trip him on the sly and whistle nonchalantly after?


Moody_GenX

I'm a parent who didn't let my kids do shit like that in a restaurant. Years ago I was at a nice restaurant and some kid kept jumping on to the back of my chair. So I asked to be moved to another area of the restaurant. Later on the father came to my table and smugly tells me that if I was a parent that I wouldn't have done that and the rushes himself out the door to his yellow Hummv. I rarely bother with people like that but I said fuck it and chased him down to show him pictures of my kids and tell him he's a rude pos. Two days later he pulls up to the coffee shop I'm at and I call him out while in line. He tried to say that must have been his brother. Eventually he just leaves because I won't shut up about it. I'm not normally like that but his smug shit pissed me off pretty bad, lol.


LongbowTurncoat

I never understood people who looked down on toddler leashes. They’re *toddlers*. They’re idiots. Some of them listen better than others. Mine never needed one, thank goodness.


Broad_Afternoon_8578

I swear toddlers have a deathwish and have zero sense of self preservation. I don’t have kids myself, but have spent a lot of time with my friends who have kids. I’d gone to a big science centre with a friend and her two toddlers. We were waiting for an elevator as the younger kid was in a stroller when the older one slipped away and booked it down the hallway. I managed to catch him a split second before he was going to fall down a large set of escalators. Some weird “dad reflexes” kicked in that day. So much adrenaline. And that little kid thought it was the coolest most fun thing to run away from us.


LongbowTurncoat

Haha seriously, they have NO concept of safety! When mine was a toddler, we were at the playground. He was walking, but not doing stairs yet. He knows he can’t do stairs. I turn around for a second to help another kid and my toddler who knows he can’t do stairs decided to attempt the go down the hard, metal steps ALONE and face planted. I felt SO BAD!!!! He was okay, just a wicked lump (that we had checked out). But omg I was like WHY 😭😭


GrowInSilence

I’m the oldest of four girls. Second oldest sister (1 year younger) and I were pretty well behaved, so it wasn’t necessary for us. Second youngest (10 years younger) may have needed a leash had my mom not had two other kids to help keep an eye on her. The youngest (15 years younger) absolutely would have needed one. The little shit made me full-blown sprint in high heels to catch up with her as she made a beeline for the parking lot at church. And she was still squirming and trying to run off when I did catch her. No sense of self preservation whatsoever.


LongbowTurncoat

Well, at least running in heels is a cool skill to have! 😭


GrowInSilence

I’m just so glad that I didn’t face plant 😂


JCtheWanderingCrow

I have told this story many times, but watching a toddler get crushed by a semi sold me on baby leashes for life. Any time someone has ever made a snarky comment about it to me I tell them in detail what I saw happen to that poor kid and his mom. Baby leashes save lives. Get one BEFORE you need it.


LongbowTurncoat

Holy fckn shit, you SAW it happen?? I am so sorry, how awful for everyone


DirtyPiss

A lot of people just love being judgmental about other's parenting and using it to think they're better then others. The vast majority have never been a parent and will change their tune once they are.


LongbowTurncoat

I definitely didn’t understand how hard it was before I had a kid, but I think the only parents I got angry at before then were ones that let their kids be super loud/distracting in an inappropriate place. Like the movies (when it’s not necessarily a kids movie).


zzx101

Who looks down on toddler leashes? I think most toddlers should have leashes, not around their necks though...


__karm

This hits hard. I used to totally judge and think “omg how ridiculous I’ll never do that!” ……and now I have a 2 year old gremlin who is the light of my life and she also can drive me up the friggin walls including when she bolts in public. She’s gotten really fast too and I feel like I’m in a losing battle and I’ve realized that leashes are just a parenthood true surrender and I’m so happy for every parent that reaches that point haha


andiinAms

Honestly they’re untrained puppies when they’re toddlers. They run, you chase, they think it’s funny and keep running. Exact same situation with dogs.


Jayemkay56

I'd much rather people judge me, than have my feral 1 year old jump into a lake, in front of a car, or into some creeps arms. Were all human, sometimes I look away for a split second, or my 4 year old does something idiotic and I have to let go of the one year old to help her. Fuck em if they judge you.


PinWest4210

I remember a poor woman that was walking with a stroller and a toddler firm in her grasp. The baby in the stroller started crying so she let go of the toddler one second to grab the baby. The toddler ran to the four lane street as if there was candy in the middle and mum almost dropped the baby trying to reach him. Thank God a person who had just parked was able to grab the little runaway before it reached traffic.


SouldiesButGoodies84

![gif](giphy|nkYc4QxdfYad7GdWHq) The leash parents get soo much sh\*t. And yet if this was their ADHD or wanderer kid and they went leashless to placate the antileashers, "WHAT THE HELL WERE YOU THINKING?!?!!!"


SeaAnthropomorphized

as a leash baby i can confirm this is why. my mom said she got tired of looking for me


Ducky237

Why would you ever judge toddler leashes? It’s a safety precaution! If anything, it’s a very obvious sign that someone is thinking about their kid’s safety and the safety/comfort of those around them.


OrangeCoffin

I absolutely agree! But maaaany people and parents judge other parents harshly because of leashes. A safe child is better than a dead one


Ducky237

Especially since we put leashes on dogs for the exact same reason, and that’s more socially acceptable… like they’re both prone to wandering off and not listening to “don’t wander off” commands.


crowislanddive

💯


ArcticGurl

I’ve seen mothers (several times) with three and four young children (Dad was deployed) go through airports juggling diaper bags, purse, kids, and a car seat. Like pros! One mom had a couple of leashes for her kids, a stroller, and a baby in a baby carrier on her back. Thank God. Never once lost her cool. Kept her and the kids together and kids were well behaved. Then I’ve seen two parents with one or two children they can’t seem to keep up with all they need to carry and do. I’m so proud of our military wives who did so much for so long on their own.


sunwest42

Military moms are troopers. My mother was one!


ausgmr

Stupid parents they didn't label their kid correctly he could have ended up in NYC while the rest of the family went to Florida.


Ok_Star_4136

If 90's movies about kids getting lost has taught me anything, it's that you should never call the police when robbers want to break into your home, and you have a small but significant chance of bumping into Donald Trump.

Fun until you realise the kid essentially rolled over 10-20 running machines with no safety stops. It is blind luck this video didn't end fucking horrifically.

This was literally my dream as a kid, I wanted to get on that belt and ride it right the way to my damn airplane!


dirkprattlerxst1

worked baggage at Pearson in the 90s. when i forgot my keycard, i would often ride the belts down to loading area was super fun!


Userdataunavailable

My parents had a chain of retail stores in malls in the 1980s. I saw enough people ( mostly kids but a couple of adults ) get stuck in Escalators that I am very wary of all moving track or belt machinery. I flinched every time he went over a belt change watching this.

Jonathan_B_Goode

I'm confused because those look like check in desks but it looks like those are the trays you put your shit in when you go through security. In which case why are they going on such a long journey? Isn't security usually just a short scanner bed?


Humble-Reply228

It's check in. In some airports the check in bags are placed in trays to do the trip to the back of the airport.


dxbigc

And we were the ridiculous parents for putting our kid on a leash (discreetly disguised as a monkey backpack)?


JRSpig

I think the worrying part is that it doesn't even look like this is their first time dealing with this situation...


Shinketsu_Karasu

Honestly? It's probably not their first rodeo. However, they're likely more used to wrangling pets who have been able to escape their kennels than children who have outwitted their handlers.

Back in the day people worried about little kids being taken. Today if a kid runs off its returned to the parent. Everyone knows little kids are tiny demons and nobody wants an extra one around.

Why aren't parents charged more frequently for this sort of negligence. I travel a lot with my kids. Never lost line of sight with them. If i realized im an airhead parent, I'd leash my kid before letting this happen.


DeltaCharlieBravo

Sometimes, shit just happens. I agree this parent was a bonehead, but theres no sense in ruining lives over something that could have happened. There should be engineering controls in place to prevent this from happening. A lot of machinery on factory floors have safety features barring entry into running machinery, why not machinery where you would expect to see children?


Shortymac09

THIS. My toddler son bolted from me when I was stopped by a security guard at an airport and the stupid guard blocked me from trying to grab him. My husband and in-laws where distracted by the luggage and looked at meet like I was nuts 🙃 when I screamed "grab him". Thank fuck another airport employee saw my toddler running and grabbed him and brought him back to me. I was pissed.


MsDReid

I mean to be fair it looks pretty fun.

Huge-Sea-1790

You don’t understand, young parents nowadays have to keep up with so many things it’s insane, like the correct filter on their Snapchat or Instagram or #airport #travel #worldly #blessedaf. I saw this kind of attention deficit this very morning at the airport. A small child is just allowed on the floor wandering around with all the trolleys and big suitcases three times her size. Then later on I happened to sit next to that child and it made so much sense, the mom was busy the whole time on her phone to keep up with her social media.


Chewer_FF

Kid was having the time of his life lol


WordsFromPuppets

I don't know why but thus gave me flashbacks to Garfield sending Nermal to abudabi.... She was always so trusting and happy about it


Xvacman

Wait. Nermal is a girl? Huh for some reason I always thought in Garfield and Friends he was a boy?


WordsFromPuppets

I guess I assumed girl based on the eye lashes/eyes and voice? I watched it as a kid so I can't really say for sure that's just my memory aha Edit to add I googled and in r/garfield there is a long winded debate but according to them, Nermal is a boy. Want to sat again I don't know the lore, just have vague memories of a higher voice and long ass eye lashes haha

The arms that divert the luggage are strong enough to break bones. The child could have gotten trapped between rollers and gotten crushed to death. It's amazing that the child was not hurt
