Perhaps, but I'm not going to run out there and ring the kid's neck while threatening to sue. Besides, it was an accident. We're all capable of those, regardless of age. You just can't hold a child, particularly one that young, responsible for his/her behavior as if they were an adult.
Aside from that, the kid wasn't rude about it. It was an accident and he stood up and apologized. Injured or not, that would've been enough for me.
