This is the moment a father's quick reflexes turned a potentially dangerous moment into a last-minute save as he caught his one-and-a-half-year-old daughter in the middle of a head-first fall from the sofa.

The young girl was playing on the sofa when she lost her balance and slipped in Zhaoqing, in Guangdong Province, China, on July 14.

Her father immediately saw this and jumped to grab her, holding her by both legs. By dropping his phone in the process, he was able to stop his child from injuring herself.

After the incident, the father reflected on the moment and expressed relief at his ability to respond promptly. He acknowledged the potential for more severe consequences had he not acted swiftly.

The event served as a reminder of the importance of attentiveness during active play and the quick actions that can prevent accidents.
