A. An idiot pedestrian who is not paying attention, or
B. An idiot cyclist who is riding recklessly for the conditions, or
C. Both of the above

If you are firmly and exclusively in the "A" camp, then you are not going to be able to have a reasonable conversation with folks in the B & C camps.
Not sure what exactly the point of that video is? It proves absolutely nothing unless it recreates the incident exactly as it happened which I assume, it does not..
