Netizens were divided in response to the clip.

On the other hand, some netizens did not find the incident worrying.

Pointing out that the car was not travelling at a high speed, one user felt that the children shuld be allowed to have this “core memory”.

Another acknowledged that the act was dangerous, but said that this would have been a “dream come true” for his younger self.

He urged people to stop complaining, adding that this was acceptable so long as the parents took precautions.
