I hit a little kid blasting through the park on my BMX. 4 years old or less, just ran under my wheels. I thought I was being careful enough and looking well ahead for space to ride through. But when you have unpredictable little kids, that goes out the window because they might actually aim and run straight under your wheel which is what happened.
I braked hard but it was too late, slammed the kid under the front tyre. Luckily the he was seemingly fine (I expected broken bones & concussion). The father of the kid actually brushed it off at nothing saying it was the kids fault. But I felt so guilty that I felt ill.
