So, is this for real, or not?

Anything established with regard to authenticity, or not?

Frightening Spectacle, Mike.
Thank God, he dropped the infant without serious injury.
Thanks for reporting this newsworthy incident.

This has been doing the rounds for over a year, it was staged.

Even if fraudulent, as you suggest, the infant was at risk of serious injury being snatched and clutched
by some impersonal mechanism before being dropped. Wouldn't any reasonable person agree?

I agree with you 100%. But then you get some people who have no idea.

One word: dingo ate my baby. That doesn't make me a bad parent, it makes my kid really unlucky.

There are so many fake / staged videos out there now that I've reverted to believing nothing I haven't seen in the real world. Although I have to admit that I was one of the people who didn't believe the dingo had taken the baby ...
