I was AR for U15/2 game on the weekend. Attacker traps the ball but it ends up wedged between both ankles. Defender standing right in front of him. Attacker then takes 3 kangaroo hops with the ball straight past the defender. I have never seen anything like this and thought what an excellent spur of the moment play. Unfortunately the ref took a different view and awarded IDFK against the attacker. I asked the ref at half time why, his answer was "It just looked wrong"! We both had a chuckle about it. Personally I would have allowed play to continue. What's the correct decision?

IFK for dangerous play as he has put himself in danger, which as we know is an offence.

I agree with both fatdev33l and pj regarding your question:
Law 12 - IFK if, ITOOTR, a player
plays in a dangerous manner
I agree from what you describe it was dangerous. What pj says is also true. A player could do it safely away from defenders and that would be ok.
A bit like a high foot. A high foot near other players is dangerous. A high foot in the middle of nowhere when a player is all by themself, that would not be dangerous.
This often comes up with a player playing the ball on the ground. I believe they can do it as long as it is not dangerous.
