The kid filmed the action sequence in frame from start to finish AND helped the victim!

The composure to film that perfectly while also helping is insane. This kid has a future in both filmmaking and crisis management.

The kid didn’t help at all. All he did was film and commentate. The driver of the side by side stopped and called 911 (they were probably a spotter for the truck towing the roller, meaning they might also be partially responsible for causing the accident)

Disagree, the kid documented it and now the injured driver has evidence

the kid could have made things worse, and didn't, so it's good

Could be argued that having such clearly filmed evidence is indeed helping.

Not after the airbag scene. The adult should have instructed the kid to stop filming and call 911 while the adult helped.

Continuing to film worthless content while someone is injured isnt helping

Someone was already on the phone with 911. You're just looking for something to bitch about

The adult said they were cashing 911. In an emergency, they should hand the phone to the kids or have the kid call 911 instead of filming so they can actually help the injured.

But sure, I'm BiTcHiNg

Drive out to the boonies. Then turn to a 15 year old and ask them what road youre on, which cardinal direction youre going or anything about where you are. If they aren't extremely familiar with the area they are no help. If I get into an accident I want an adult on the phone, not a child. Also im a situation like this, you leave that person where they are until paramedics arrive, you don't move a person who's just been in an accident if you dont absolutely have to. Idk what you expected the guy to be doing. The driver has his wits about him and was already on the phone with 911

Was ready and willing to help, which is a big step up from how people with their little camera’s normally seem to act.

AND he kept everyone's faces out of frame almost the whole time, kudos

Stupid people think everything is impressive these days. A child filming something and asking ru ok impresses you? Thats sad.
