Yep, the girls are fine, but I'm more worried about his posture. Either they took that picture at the exact wrong time or he is doing it wrong.

Looking at the girls, the oldest could probably start chopping wood herself. Not, much, but she looks close to big enough.

It could also be the net effect of the photographer directing them so that he could get what he wanted to show in one shot.

The axe is moving, but it could be moving up. Shutter time might tell us something of its speed.

That's my thought too. Looks like terrible technique. Hands together on the end far too early in the swing.

And standing square on. Where did he swing it from?!

Yeah, its like he learned his technique from cartoons about people hitting the high striker (strongman) at a carnival.
