Yeah, there's being distracted though, and then there's just being stupid. Watching that video above, that man isn't just distracted, he's clearly not giving a crap about anything. There's a whole pile of people stopped and waiting that he pushes past. It's almost less about being distracted, and more about not being responsible to to the people and world around him.
It is a sad thing, and I've never been one to say 'damn, what an inconvenience' when something like this occurs. But it's also another thing to baby proof all of society because some people can't pay attention, or worse yet, don't even seem to care to try and pay attention or have any responsibility to the world around them.
I imagine that guy has been in more than his share of car accidents too...
