The kid plays by his own rules because Dad has let it get to this point...while I don't wish hurt on anyone, this kid needs to experience where poor choice leads. And, if Dad had the balls, he'd use this as a teachable moment to said 'bad ass kid' and get things back on track before its too late and there comes a time when Dad can't bail out junior for his choices. You can allow your child creative exploration without sacrificing discipline and well behaved children.
I agree, while gut busting ha-larious, there is a bigger lesson behind this. A firm hand and well guided experience are fundamental in keep such jumps minimal.
After all the bigger we get, the higher the jumps, the harder to get back up from.
