If you’re the parent then the child is your property and responsibility, if you break it by accident you can make another. If someone else breaks your kid then they owe you a kid, but you don’t want someone else’s kid, so now you’re in a troublesome situation
morally it’s the exact same thing. you’re taking a child, who doesn’t understand enough about danger to consider consent, and putting them in a potentially life-threatening situation for entertainment purposes. there are safe ways to toss your baby. sitting here defending doing it over hard ground with one hand is fucking stupid
no see, I appreciate all of your red flags. lets me know early that interacting with you is going to be a waste of time. anyway, if you want people to know that you’re a redditor, keep pasting responses that you read over there

Some random person walks up and lifts your baby over their head with one arm = not okay because you don’t know them or trust them to not harm the kid.
The baby’s father doing it = nerve-wracking, yes, but you at least know he’s gonna try to be careful.
