Noone gets hurt so it's okay. They probably won't be afraid of heights when they get older.

It's their culture and what they do is what they do; however, personally, I think they're doing the incorrect thing.

Well, that's their culture. It's not for us to judge. I'd imagine that they have the actual baby toss down to a science. I think if the babies were dying left and right the tradition would have died off long ago.
