It's hard to make a child's death funny, but Heavy Rain found a way. Hopefully by accident.
In this early scene, Ethan and his family are in the mall when his wife asks him to watch their son, Jason, while she goes shopping. He can't even handle that responsibility for ten seconds before Jason goes wandering off. This triggers a ridiculous quick-time event where every time you see "Jason" on the screen, you press X and Ethan calls out, "Jason!" with all the urgency of a hide-and-seek game. He later finds Jason, who wants a balloon from a clown. Ethan buys it, and Jason goes wandering off again, despite clearly being old enough to know better. Jason, by the way, is terrible.
Anyway, this sends Ethan running through the entire mall, playing the same QTE and yelling "Jason!" over and over again. No other words, no asking security for help. Just "Jason!" repeatedly, even though it's not working at all. Finally, he sees Jason outside, across the street for no reason at all. He hollers "JASON!" again, and Jason responds by running across the busy street. Ethan runs over and jumps between Jason and a moving car, and this somehow kills Jason. The lesson here, as usual: never, ever buy a balloon.
