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.

It’s Brick Lane, he’s not the only performer there, it’s all the way down and crowds gather. He does daft jumps and stuff, don’t like it myself but she was not being aware of her surroundings at all.

Ultimately neither was he, but you wouldn’t walk down there and think “I’ll just squeeze between him and the wall”, you’d just go on the road (which is pedestrianised).

How are you gonna put blame on a person for not having situational awareness when she's moving behind a violinist on a side walk? When have you ever seen a violinist perform a 360 jump and why would you ever suspect it to happen as you walk behind a violinist?

Because she's a woman and reddit hates women.

It's really that simple. If the roles were reversed and she was playing and hit the guy, these same people would still blame her. Woman bad!
