Toddler Tossing

[Hayden Kered]

I just found this video and can not believe what these 2 guys are doing to those kids. Does any one find this dangerous?

A bit. I mean, I'll toose my nieces up in the air a foot, though I'm not tossing them 10 feet back and forth. Their grandfather would kill me. @.@

[Marius Fett]

Now that's just plain stupid.

 

One of those kids is gonna get seriously hurt.

[Ztalker]

Meh. It's just like with most things in life. It'll be 'dangerous' when one of the kids falls down. Same thing with cheating. It's only cheating when somebody finds out.

 

It's the simply hypocrisy of the human race

 

Not that it's not dangerous, though.

[Sabretooth]

Bet you guys wouldn't react the same way if they were tossing a grown man.

 

 

 

*weeps*

[Salzella]

^^ I'd be impressed if that was the case

[Aash Li]

Oh noes! the CPS is going to come in and steal their kids! Yeah I dont see anything wrong with that really... its not that far of a distance. And its not like they are tossing a baby.

[Salzella]

And its not like they are tossing a baby.

 

o.O

 

i like how this implies that the value of kids steadily decreases as they grow older and stroppier. where's the cut-off point where before: you can throw them around, after: you can't. is it around the first birthday?

Don't spoil my fun >.>

[Burnseyy]

Ah, those kids know what it's like to fly...

 

What stupid carers. Those kids could die if they hit the floor! o_0

 

At least be thankful they're good catchers.

[HIGH ON PIE 14]

It is pretty stupid of them to be tossing kids around. I think it is a bit dangerous yes, but as Burnseyy said, at least they are good catchers. It appears that they have good control over the situation, but what happens if they drop a kid?

 

But I don´t think the distance is that far...they still should not do it though.

I have to admit, I laughed when I watched that. No matter how dangerous it was, that was funny.

 

*EDIT*Ok, I take that back. The first part was funny, then when he flipped the kid, that started scaring me.

Fallacy of the Beard is one of my favorites.

On their feet from 4 feet up? Sorry, no.

 

but what happens if they drop a kid?

 

Then a kid falls. It happens sometimes. It wasn't that high up, and he was throwing them in such a way that they weren't going to hit their head or somesuch.

[Sigundr]

Kudos to them for the hot hands. Tracking and catching the kids was pretty good.

[Nedak]

Not a big deal at all...

 

Even if they fell they wouldn't have died.

[Sigundr]

Yeah, they'd just break a few bones. No biggie. They need to learn not to break stuff, might as well start young.

[Nedak]

Broken bones aren't fun, but the guys had it under control.

 

I've seen people toss their babies why higher anyways.

[Sigundr]

Instead of a kitten cannon, there should be a baby cannon.

[Rev7]

That is dangerous if you ask me. I mean, I toss my 2 year old niece straight up in the air but my hands are never farther than maybe 7 inches away from her underarms. I think that it safer than throwing a child like you are playing catch with a baseball. She loves it, and to me it seems like these children in the video love it, but you could get hurt by doing something like that. Think before you do something.

[Sigundr]

'Tis the plague that affects humankind, 'specially men. No thinking.

[Jae Onasi]

On their feet from 4 feet up? Sorry, no.

 

My daughter fell 3 feet off of monkey bars just slipping off of one of the bars, and broke her arm. This kid had the speed of the toss added onto that. She easily could have hurt something rather badly if she fell. They're irresponsible idiots who should be prevented from contributing to the gene pool.

Give the kid another year or two and he will be climbing trees and stairs and riding a bike. And swimming... in rivers and lakes; where there are stones and fish and stuff.

Yes, that's correct. And NEVER EVER did something bad happen to kids climbing trees, stairs, or riding a bike.

 

 

Yeah, they'd just break a few bones. No biggie. They need to learn not to break stuff, might as well start young.

Broken bones??

 

 

These kids are not older than 2 years, their neck and back musculature is not anywhere near being fully developed. In fact it is weak.

 

Even IF they caught the kids every time, it's a big luck that no kid got injured in a more than serious way. Simply falling on the ground breaking an arm is probably the best case accident these kids could face. Imagine one of those punks doesn't get a kid right and twists his neck or back.

 

We're talking about a life endangering situation here. It's not funny, not something these kids can't go through early enough, in general nothing to give out kudos for.

 

 

And NO, the situation is at no time under any control.
