If the gosling was hatched naturally, with it's mother, then Yes...it can go straight to the water. However, if you artificially hatched the egg using an incubator, or similar method...then NO. Artificially hatched goslings (and most aquatic fowl) do not have the protection of their mother's oil on them. They are not "water-proof" and will become wet & chilled, as the water will not bead up & roll off of them. Artificially hatched goslings should not be introduced to water until they are no longer "fuzzy". Once you see actual feathers beginning, their own oil gland (located just above the base of the tail) is functioning & they will instinctively use their beaks to spread the oil to other areas of their bodies. This is why birds & water fowl "preen" so often...to distribute these oils.

What threatens newly hatched chicks?
rats. that's all i know of Just about everything except the mother hen if they are natural hatch. Even when you incubate them there are threats. The healthy chicks will mob the weak ones, the older chicks (even by a day) will pick on the younger ones. Temperature extremes will threaten them as they need warm, humid conditions with gradual drops in surrounding temps in the brooder box. Early disease is sometimes a problem and all chicks should be started on medicated chick feed for the first few weeks to prevent several digestive diseases. Even the water dispenser can be a threat as newly hatched chicks will immerse themselves in an open water container so care should be taken to supply water in a self feeding covered dish.
