You can let your concentration wander from the pram in some safe location, but 2 second roll away from a train track is NOT the place.

That's reckless, end of.

Tohtori, it is reckless only if the defendant realises there was a risk of harm and then goes on anyway to continue their act. it is also subjective and nothing to do with what you realised, but what the defendant realised at the time of the incident.

perhaps at the time if she realised that if she let go of the pram, that the break was off, and that the surface rolled in to the track, and realised if all those conditions were true, then she was reckless.

at least in GB anyway.

im not sure it is something to 'get in to'
it is simply the definition of what is reckless under uk law.

like none of us has ever done something (or not done it) without thinking; I've had more than my fair share of D'oh moments but fortunately none of them were anything where my life would be forever ruined due to my life blaming myself for a silly mistake that turned so horrific.

I can't stop wondering why the ground slopes towards the track and not from it :p
