Babys have more flexible limbs than older children and adult. No pain possibly. The fast constant motion is overstimulating for the babys senses, he can not react but becomes overwhelmed of the stimulus. It could give him brain damage when his brain is forced against his skull over and over with the motion. I hope it really is fake.
I would not be surprised to learn that all kids get brain damage and recover from it. I can't think of anybody that did not fall down stairs or something and really slam their head... I've known so many parents that shrugged off nasty head hits if the kid was still functioning, after they raise a few kids they realize it's ok..
Ok, maybe no damage to the baby, we can not tell from the video, but a female instinct would most of the time not throw a baby like that man did. I saw the video and wanted to take the baby away from him.
Even if the video is fake and spliced, it should still not be publicly available. It depicts child abuse ... and we all know there are some Republicans who cannot differentiate between reality and make-believe. So you could see some copycats really harm kids. The video should be taken down.

calm down guy, do any of you have kid? I have. His dad obviously knew what he was he doing. I can see the dad wanted to prepare his kid early in some kind of gymastic sport. In today competitive environment the early bird get the worm, blame it on the culture of winning at any cost not him. Look at football guys banging their heads against each others at a highest speed that they can muster. you guys should report all fottball teams to authorities right away.
