I know what I'm about to say is going to sound terrible, so I'll attempt to temper that with an explanation. The way this was shot and edited, coupled with some fairly bad specialFX that fall victim to the uncanny valley, makes it seem comical. Given the subject matter and the kids, it obviously isn't funny. I'm more commenting on the directorial decisions.
The choices of the zoomed in reaction shots, over-exaggerated action, and use of what amounts to dummies would make this scene more at home if, in place of kids, it was a bumbling deserving villain, and instead of the somber GnR cover it was some silly music.
That last scene in particular, where they show the crash to completion, is jarring, but not in the sense they were going for. Moviegoers are used to certain standards of movie making that are built up over time, and work as story telling shortcuts. Showing this scene just adds to the silliness of it. Let alone that not showing it would have been more impactful if left to the imagination.

I can't remember where this verse is from, I think it got removed from canon:
"I don't hang around with mostly men because I'm gay. It's because men are better than women. Better trained, better equipped...better. Just better! I'm not gay."
For context, this is the previous verse:
"Hi Jesus" -robvalue
