It really depends. Most people who are hiking with such young children wear them; if one of them was, it was obviously dad given no injuries to the child have been reported. Also the ground wouldn’t have been flat; if you step on an incline or the side of a rock or loose gravel/dirt and lose balance, it is definitely possible to fall backwards (personal experience speaking there but I am admittedly a clumsier hiker than most
). <modsnip - quoted post was removed>There have been A LOT of fall deaths from hiking trails, observation decks, etc. over the years; poor decisions, not being aware or fully appreciating the danger, getting too comfortable in your own ability, the mindset of “nothing will happen to ME”, the list goes on.
