It's just normal child depth perception, very helpful for their development. Especially when occuring a catastrophic failure afterwards like falling in water.
You're thinking like an old person. Children spring back from EVERYTHING. I watched my cousins kid run full speed into a solid wood door, bounce his face off of it, say "woops" and then, before any adults could react, he backed up and proceed to sprint into it again, face first, like it would somehow work the second time. Same result. We had to physically stop him from trying a third time (this displeased the child). Children are invincible to their own machinations. Side note, I believe through sheer power of will, he would have eventually gotten through that door. His dad was not willing to test the hypothesis, however, so we will never know.

Was she running with her eyes clothes? Thank goodness for the vest.
