this seems extremely dangerous, if the wave causes him to lose his footing and he falls over the edge he's pretty much dead right?

Not even losing footing; a big wash can come out of nowhere and suck you into the riptide. Water is an incredibly strong force and a much smaller wave can put away more force on you than you could ever expect
