During a big fire the firemen were having a bit of trouble. A woman was stuck on the fourth floor with her baby. The fire fighters instructed her to toss the child out the window, under which they had placed a net, but the mother refused.
Things looked grim until a tall, well-built man burst through the crowd and shouted to the woman. It was O.J. Simpson. He said that he was a professional football player, and that he could catch the baby safely. In fact, he could catch anything. After a few minutes more of reassurances, the mother finally let the child drop.
Simpson made a breathtaking running catch, and everybody cheered. At that moment he suddenly raised the child high in the air, spiked it on the ground and screamed, "Touchdown!"
(A good joke to tell around a fire, as my friend Scott once did. You can drag out the mother's indecision, and the run to catch the baby.)

I know this family and the photo is real.
The baby (girl) is now a mid-teens young woman.
Both parents are (and were) accomplished climbers and I doubt that they would have done this if for a second they thought that it would not turn out just fine (as it did).

Pfft: the kids diggin it.
BTW, rangers have a documented tale in Yellowstone of some parents trying to get a kid onto the back of a Bison so they could get some pictures. They got lucky and no one got gored.

Yeah, that's Jeff Leads and his now EX wife.
If it is, (don't think so) the irony is his job description is, safety supervisor.

Bad parenting......working 24/7 and leaving the kid(s) sitting in the house with video games. Kids want yo not things.
We raised 4 kids. My husband did tons of stuff with them while I watched and said they're "gonna die"....like letting them walk on logged logs sitting on the coast of the northwest coast, letting them swim across Alice Lake in Canada, walking around some whirl pool that (if you fell in) would suck you underground and spit you out @ 2 miles later. I could go on for hours......zeriously.
Today they are alive and great with kiddos of their own.
Dang, people took their kids on wagon trains from the East to the Mid West and West. Faced weather, starvation, hostile environments and people.
What up with these politically correct, judgemental days we live in ?????

That kid looks Asian and the a-dults are white.
Kidnapping and running through the desert.
Just like running drugs in AZ.
New income for unemployed white America along the border.
