Are you just pointing out that social media exists? I'm going to go ahead and say that while the comments might be because you posted the video (surprise!) the opinions exist regardless of social media (surprise!).
OP: I think safety equipment should be used on a per-situation basis. If you didn't judge it to be unsafe, I wouldn't worry about it. There's the whole "you can drown in a puddle of water" argument, but an activity like tobogganing can be pretty mellow or pretty dangerous. Adjust the safety gear worn when needed.
