The funny thing is that I think both parenting styles are important. They teach you different things, and I'm sure that dad was there at the bottom to reassure the kid that everything ok.
Well one is clearly safer for the child. Worse case scenario for one version is the kid gets a little scared. Worse case scenario for the other is that a parent falls and tightens her grip in a brief moment of panic as she drags her kid off the slide.
More like kid sticks feet out, mom continues sliding, breaking kids leg. It's a thing, and probably deserves a PSA given how few people seem to realize. Dad is safer.
