Did the o.p. report an accident (crash) involving a child? Oh the children! Capsizing life raft, throw us the children, sucks to be you! Burning building, throw us the children, we'll throw you marshmallows. What happens to the orphaned children? I don't know, seems to me that the day before the o.p. saw that cyclist and probably the day before that, and, and ... see where I'm going? What looks like reckless ... I wonder if I would think it's reckless. Some of you need to learn the difference between being a noob and having skillz. Some of the things I do with a tandem in traffic with my DW on the back are worthy of applause. If I tried the exact same thing with a child back there people would want to drag me off the bike and beat me. Doesn't make sense. An adults life is worth exactly what a child's life is worth. No more, no less. Let's get a grip.
