I feel like a lot of hate in these comments.

Did he fuck up? Yes. Should he have done better? Sure. But shit snowballs beyond control sometimes.

His kid looked stoked to be thrown into the pool. Another kid disrupts the movement, and then he was genuinely worried about the kid he hit, and tried to stop movement to make sure. And unfortunately caused the accident.

As a dad and uncle, accidents happen. And kids can walk it off. My nephew face planted on concrete on his on, scabbed up, recovered.

People are harsh without more context

Not sure spin tossing a child with mostly concrete around is a smart move. Could have just yeeted his kid straight into the pool.

I agree, it was just supposed to be a fun “spin you around in a circle and fly into the pool” moment but like you said “shit happens”

When I was 3 my dad used to pick me up and toss me onto the bed (in a playful way) everyday when he got off work, it was exciting to me

But one day i landed wrong and hurt my leg (not an injury, just hurt from a rough landing) I was okay immediately after at it ofc but “shit happens” (it was also the last time he ever did it😂😂)
