Kai Rooney gets a bump on the head as dad Wayne takes him for a Barbados jet ski ride but does NOT make him sit on the back as safety experts recommend
He's a star player on the football pitch, and perhaps Wayne Rooney's sports skills are more suited to dry land.
The footballer has been enjoying a family trip to the Barbados with his wife Coleen and their two sons Kai, five and Klay, two.
And after days of sunbathing and swimming, thrill-seekers Wayne, 29, and his oldest son decided to hit the water for a jet ski ride which soon ended with a bump.
The five-year-old seemed to be OK after the accident, with doting dad Wayne later spotted checking his son over as they sat by the beach.
Some water safety experts recommend that children do not ride on the front of jet skis because of the risk of hitting their head on the handlebars if the vehicle slows down suddenly, or encounters rough water.
Instead, they should be positioned in the middle between two adults, or when just one adult is on board, behind the driver - however, here there is a risk that smaller children can be thrown from the jet ski.
Wayne and Coleen have been enjoying a break in one of their family's favourite destinations ahead of the new football season.
The couple welcomed their first son Kai in 2009 and their second Klay in May 2013.
