Maybe he was trying to teach the kid how to swim?

Seriously, I fell off a barge in front of a towboat once upon a time. Although I was wearing a life jacket, it seemed that I was underwater for a week and I most definitely felt the big screws pulling on me as I fought to get away from the tow. The Captain saw me go overboard and reversed the engines. I then fought against the prop wash to get back to the boat. The screws (propellers) on a big boat/ship will eat you up. It wasn't my time.

The father who threw his son off of the boat should be thrown off of the boat. Full speed ahead!
