As someone that has recently taken an infant and and family CPR class for my son who started solid foods a few months ago, this is pretty similar to how they teach it today and I’m pretty sure it would have the same effect. You can’t perform a heimlich on a baby or very small child for a variety of reasons. This method or something similar to it is both safer and more effective, since it lets gravity help dislodge the food.

Bullshit, gravity is just a theory.

Maybe, but if true it means that whether the child is choking on feathers or bowling balls, they are ejected at the same speed, which is a great advantage of this technique.

Way back when my oldest was little one, he was choking and I just grabbed him and flipped him upside down and kind of bounced him like you’re trying to get ketchup out of a bottle. It worked and I had no idea what to do, it was like an instinct kind of thing.
