We have a feeling that this dad from New Zealand wasn’t laughing when his wife saw what happened to their son…

A great way to teach your kid how to ride a bike is by getting a ‘pedal-less bike’, as they can help to increase a budding biker’s overall stability and confidence on two wheels.

That’s exactly the approach that this awl lad from New Zealand took recently, but for some reason he decided to let his kid roll the bike down a hill that had quite a few trees planted at the bottom.

You can pretty much guess what’s going to happen next…

Here’s what the video’s uploader, Paul Ardern, had to say: “My goal in life is to make this video go viral. This stars my brother-in-law and my nephew. I have watched this 100s of times…. Enjoy!!!!”

A few people online are calling this a case of bad parenting, but when your kid is speeding down a hill while heading for a tree there’s not much you can do but stand back, laugh and record it on your smartphone.
