Unidentified Flying Baby

No, this is different from the "Throwing Baby From the Train" thread.
Mickey's Toontown Fair RR Station. The train has just been cleared to depart and the engineer has already let off the brakes. A guest comes up to the fence with a baby, and yells at her husband -- who is on the moving train -- to catch the baby as she tosses it!
Mind you, there's a good eight to ten feet of naked concrete between the fence and the train!!! I intervene, and inform her that she can't throw her baby.
"So you hand him to my husband!" she shouts. Oh yeah, I'm going to grab somebody else's kid and do a handoff to some moron who's not even smart enough to wait for his wife and kids before he boards the train. No way!
So dad elects to intervene, and hops off the moving train, causing us to E-stop (thanks to an alert engineer -- yeah, there are some). I now inform him that he will not be reboarding the train, and direct him to the exit.
By this time, mom has passed the kid over the fence, so dad proceeds to hop over the fence while carrying same. Sadly, he did not land on his face. Naturally, it was all my fault.
I'm sorry, but when did it become reasonable to lob live babies over fences into a crowd aboard a moving train?!? Is this some "extreme sport" that nobody's told me about?
Or was it just the moron family out for a day in the park?
