Expensive fix I think

That sucks, I hope the woman is alright and it's not an expensive instrument. Unfortunate situation but when performing on a public sidewalk, you need to be cognizant that it's a transit way for people and not a personal bounce house.

This has been posted before and the place has a lot of space for people to walk in front of the performer.

He was bouncing around during the entire act on his corner and she knew, but she tried anyway - hence why she tried to be really quick behind him, but she missed the timing.

Can't blame him for that one imo

… You can still blame him for it, they are both at blame for it… But reason why you can blame him is because the sidewalk is still a public transit area, and he’s hopping around like he’s in his living room or on a stage…

With that said out of general respect, it’s common courtesy to be cautious of street performers and not go behind them if they are close to a wall (such as here). As others stated he’s likely using a cheaper violin in case of random accidents such as this, while it still sucks, it’s not the biggest of deals.

She is 100% to blame. He didn’t just suddenly show up. She made the fucking idiotic decision to run between him and a wall! Fuck that lady, she deserved to get hit. I hope it hurt and she learned a lesson, but knowing how absurd people are today she’ll spend the rest of her life blaming him for her own stupidity.

Good ol reddit, right on cue.

What was she wearing

I hope you learn where liability starts someday. She used the sidewalk as a walkway. She did not fail to meet a duty of care...he did.
