I don't think you have to jump in front of a bus twice to prove you're an idiot. He's 14; he is old enough to know the dangers involved in vaulting over a steel barrier into the middle of a busy road.
Your subsequent example of a six-year-old doesn't logically follow; nobody would expect a six-year-old to have the same level of road sense that this teenager should have had.
If you're wanting to get indignant about something, then it should be for what *could have* happened to any one or more of the people on board that bus, had the driver lost control of the vehicle during this incident.
The boy should have the book thrown at him. Named and shamed along with the video, at the very least.
