The mine that went off


It exploded under the toddler, right? It wounded Sattelite's foot, but the toddler remained unharmed? I thought he was dead right after the scene.. But then I noticed he's still rolling around on the floor in that tent.
???

Apparently not. His mother threw him into that pond.

This scene is left to your own interpretation - Satellite may have kicked the kid away from the mine thereby injuring himself - make your own mind up

It was the bike that triggered the explosion before the toddler could reach the mine. That's why the toddler was fine and Satellite's injury was minor. I re-watched it to be sure. The explosion is in front of the toddler (i.e. directly between the camera and the child), probably to increase tension, and possibly to foreshadow later events.

You can also see them putting the bike with its bent wheel into Satellite's home in the next scene.

Yes, that's what I thought when watching it, that the bike actually triggered the mine and as such little Agri wasn't quite on it but Satellite would have been taking a step forward to reach for the child, hence his foot being injured and the child okay. Obviously until his mother drowned him before killing herself.
