I second this, I watched some times ago a video of babies surrounded by tamed snakes, while their parents were shitting their pants the babies play with the snakes unbothered some did make strong grip .. fear is taught not innate.

I really dislike this kind of street performance in most touristy cities, but, in this exact situation, I'm glad they had two guys ready to catch the kids in the back no matter what

The spotter did good, immediately recognizing signals of upcoming attempt from the boy and taking a quick step forward.

Tha kiddo can do a backflip, that tuck was way to clean for a first try. Holding your knees with the momentum is not just overcoming the mental barrier.

I agree - not his first time. Maybe his first time on pavement... but not his first time. Still super cool.
