Liam -N It would not have been a joke if the child had been hurt, but the nature of comedy is that we joke about things to relieve the anxiety we feel when we think someone might have been hurt. That is why if someone slips and falls, people usually wait to see if the person was okay before they laugh. Making jokes about things that are scary is a healthy human coping mechanism. If this were my child, I would have been terrified, then after I made sure they were okay, I would have made a joke to ease the tension and teach my child how to cope with life stress.
