I can’t help but think how badly this could have gone. All for what? A ball?

I watched it a few times and it’s not as bad as I first thought. The kid is actually standing on the railing and only begins to fall as dad leans back to catch the ball. Still not great parenting but I originally thought he was holding the kid and momentarily dropped them to catch the ball which would be terrible.
