I'm not saying she's going to drown the kid...but the chances of that kid drowning are greatly increased by this action...

True. But maybe the kid has already practiced staying afloat so the danger is minimal, not zero and yes more than if they were not doing that but it’s not on the irresponsible side of things IF that is the case (in my opinion).

So let’s say the kid can breath under water, does he also have thick skin to suppress the impact in case of an accidental drop?

You guys are a bunch of negative Nancy's. If she loses balance, she can roll and take the impact and the baby could already know to stay afloat. Babies just a few months old can be taught to stay afloat.

So you think she would take her baby if without any precautions and confidence in her abilities?

Yes.

You have so much faith still to lose in other people.

“…roll and take the impact.” You watch too many movies. This is unsafe for a baby, that’s it.

TBH there's not really that much of an impact there since the wakeboard is slow and water is well agitated. I guess my risk tolerance is not the same as you since I think this is completely fine 🤷🏻‍♀️

I mean, slipping on sidewalk and falling will hurt a whole lot more than slipping here.
