    Insufficient data!

    Was the bench around a corner or jutting out? Was the boy part of a crowd that obscured the bench? Is the bench somehow camouflaged? Is it static and stationary?

    Is the boy fully sighted? Is it dark? Did someone distract him? Was he panicked by someone? Could he have deliberately run into it?

      Is there an adult that should be monitoring the boy? Is the bench reasonably out of the way and visible? Was any attempt made at childproofing?

      I am generally inclined to blame a relevant adult when applicable

      That’s what I came to say. In no case is it the fault of the bench but in some it is the fault of the individual who chose the installation location. At my old apartment there was a fixed display that only slightly jutted into the doorway in the front admin room. People would bump it constantly until it finally fell over. But like the other comment mentioned, this is a little too in the weeds for the point of the meme.
