How many brain cells are needed to put the brakes on a pram?

bit unfair, two seconds she let go for, obviously that's all it takes, but everyone makes mistakes.
Leaving your car's handbrake off on a slope for two seconds can lead to equally serious consequences. I don't know about you, but if I'm using a pram or if I'm at work, a wheelchair, we are taught to never to let go of it without putting the brakes on first. That's just common sense surely?
Thank god the baby in that clip survived though.
it still amazes me the amount of mums that have the baby just on the edge of the curb, when waiting to cross...makes me or worse, front wheels hovering above the road
I didn't quite get the whole platform thing. All over the world there are baggage trolleys on railway platforms that don't roll away. I've never seen one that had enough of a fall to make a buggy roll away.She was quite obviously not a chav. No looped ear rings or shell suit or any cider / lager in site .
Title is a bit harsh, all it takes is 1 sec. Being a parent I sympathise I know how easy it is to let your gard down even for a few seconds when your really tired working a 12hr shift then having to go do chores etc. I hardly think theres any blame to point towards the mum but instead towards the cowboys who built the platform.
It's always easy to be wise after the event. From the little we saw on the video it didn't look as if she was being particularly negligent like you see some parents ignoring their kids while they run around in dodgy positions. Last year we had a kid, complete with parents, that managed to crawl under a barrier onto an unmanned check-in desk conveyer and from there onto the moving belt behind. It didn't take long before she was halfway to the baggage hall. If the emergency stop button hadn't been pressed she could have been dead. In that case the parents had been gassing while the kids had been running around. That case made this woman look like mother of the year.wow...that is lucky.
I've let go of my brothers wheelchair before, thought the pavement was flat...it wasn't, next thing I know is hes bumped into the railing to stop him going into the road...needless to say, I've not made that mistake again.
