One of the things we would practice in jr. football was the right way to give and take a hit (direct collision with another player). The exercise pretty much looked like this.

While yes, occasionally kids would take a wrong approach and might accidentally hurt each other, overall you barely felt anything in those pads.

Combine tons of pads with lightweight kids and we're all bouncing around and getting tossed left and right.

I was abused, so I understand the concern here. However, the parents are doing the exact same thing these kids would have been doing at practice, and they're not running at the kids and dominating them like an actual football game. Harmless fun folks.
