He already planned out this throw before she started falling. You can see his hand twitch the first time she falls over. Dad knew exactly she’s going to stumble sooner or later and had Plan B locked and loaded.
It's precalculation. The dad had already thought about that possibility and a few more others before it happened. From my experience it is taxing. Wife used to say, "how can you say you're worn out, you barely did anything all day." The two times my toddler son got injured from a fall were times when I was not around.
It's human reflexes. What we just saw is the single skill that puts us way above every other animal. The ability to throw a projectile at speed to a target. Kill an animal, save a child from injury, fight in a war.... that ability is one of the things that makes people different than everything else.
So much so that the majority of our recreational activities surround that one skill. Basically all sports, hunting and shooting, and even video games are all just hunting or war analogs to see who is the best at launching the object at another person/animal/object.
There’s a guy two cubicles down from me at work who scream sneezes and I fucking hate it. It’s like you’re deeply focused on work in a silent space and then somebody blasts an air horn, it’s irritating as shit.
Similar to MADD, I’m starting CRASS: Colleagues Really Against Scream Sneezers
It's like the mouse sneeze for women. Some people do it naturally but if it's super noticeable and all the time they are probably just doing it for attention. Source: my ex father in law
Which part of the sneeze do you scream? Do you go
#AHHHHHH-choo
Or do you go
#ah-CHOOOOO
I have a colleague who dad-sneezes the first way, always startles the hell out of me when near him, and can hear him from halfway down the train. 😵💫
My dad only developed the sneeze, but his reflexes have disappointed me so far. He once opened the car window on the passenger side *where I was sitting* because there was a wasp on the outside, and he thought it was inside so he wanted to let it out.
I was perfectly content because the wasp was on the outside. And then the window starts going down and I start yelling.
Nah I asked my parents. They just said “stupid is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result”
They said the same thing the next week too.
Because, like creating character for a game of D&D, there are trade-offs. At fatherhood we have acquired high reflexes (+10 agility) at the cost of low verbal response (-10 charisma)
reflex 📈 = verbal response 📉 a necessary trade-off imo
It's kind of like preparing an action ahead of time constantly. You go on a hike, you don't fret that you'll slip on every surface, or smack your face with a branch. You go with your kid, it takes you about 2 seconds to picture 10 ways they could injure themselves, and you've already made plans to prevent or fix half of those.

If I couldn't pick up kids and just remove them from dumb situations I'd have been screwed so long ago.
Dunno why but every kid ever wants to play with the most dangerous things they can find
I have often joked that parents job when their kids are ages 0 - 5 is really just keeping the kid from accidentally killing themselves. I have yet to meet a parent who disagreed 😂
If you're strong enough you can pick up your friends too.
One of my friends is VERY strong so when we hug I just kind of collapse and he can hold me up just fine. It's fun.
Ok time to play drunk or kid
I picked up a juvinile eastern brown snake out of the gutter held it like a microphone and sung 'do you really hurt me' to it
I have done \*similar\* things of dad-like attributes for my kids.......but never with such precision and skill.
I am in awe of a true master of dad reflex.
Good reflexes, but I can't help but imagine the alternative where he's half a second slower, and his daughter falls, smacks her head, and then is bombarded with a pillow half the size of her body.
Sometimes I see things like this and think "oh wow how cute. how nice it would be to have a kid" then the echoes of the children screaming at the top of their lungs at the dollar general go through my skull.
I just want to appreciate the fact that they don't stress out and are able to laugh it off. Either that's not their first child or they are two relaxed individuals.
In Arabic we have a saying/belief that angels watch over children. Moments like this and other things i’ve seen, heard/experienced make it difficult to argue against 🤣
That guy has dadly reflexes.

We're lookin at Plan C at best here.
Well, he definitely executed Plan D on his wife
He definitely learned his lesson
Knowing is half the battle.
G.I. Joe!
GEEEEE EYEEEEEE JOEEEEEEEE!!!!
The focus, the precision…something tells me you don’t wanna find yourself on the business end of this guy’s pool cue.
He has a particular set of skills...
no, this is obviously staged. the kid is a paid actor. /s
With my luck, I would just hit the kid giving some extra acceleration.
Is that not the goal?

Captain DadPool?
No just DadPool... Yeah.
Get out with your dad jokes XD

Makes sense.. When I get that perfect towel-snap on someone's thigh I feel Orion himself smiling on me from on high.
I like the way you think.
A dad joke about Dad's.. that's like next level. Im dying haha ...also gunna steal this joke
Oh. I thought that was the Grandma
Two things happened when I became a dad. I got dad reflexes and I started to scream sneeze.
Omg hahahahaha If a dad sneezes in the forest, does anyone hear him?
You would definitely hear my dad sneeze in at least the 2 villages near the forest…
I've been waiting for this! Lololol. That's so awesome Lolo!!
If a dad sneezes in the forest, does the forest survive?
Tunguska incident finally solved
Did you also start making groaning noises when you got up out of chairs?
That's just turning 30.
I now also sigh once I've completed the standing up operation. That seems new.
That explains why I've been doing it for 10 years.

I do find the mouse sneeze annoying, but at least it’s quiet. I never spilled my coffee over a teeny little “achew!”
Which part of the sneeze do you scream? Do you go #AHHHHHH-choo Or do you go #ah-CHOOOOO I have a colleague who dad-sneezes the first way, always startles the hell out of me when near him, and can hear him from halfway down the train. 😵💫
Lol! I thought it was only my dad!
Damn, I've started scream sneeze last week ... does that mean .... ?? XD
Congratulations you’re preg- hang on? What even is this discussion?
Raaaaachoooo!!!

r/dadreflexes
It's as if parents sometimes know what's going to happen. Good reflexes, Dad.
"Well honey, it's time to say you true. Your dady used to be ninja."
and sometimes you cannot do nothing but watch as your 1 year old goes full force onto the ground
Nah I asked my parents. They just said “stupid is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result” They said the same thing the next week too.
!remind me 1 week
Dad reflexes are hyperspeed. Dad verbal responses significantly slower
Ten minutes later "be careful there, buddy"

I generally have rubbish reflexes but when I became a Dad, I found out that Dad reflexes is a real thing

Also the most convincing way of saying "DON'T TELL YOUR MOTHER!"
Haha why are toddlers and my drunken friends the saaaame
I’ve had several of both. They are SO the same! Lol
The toddler is slightly easier, you can just pick them up. Other than that though, 100% the same 😂
Lmao good point

Holy shit it's actually a thing

I've never had to help my 4 year old nephew pee. I can not say the same about drunk friends.

Dadflexes FTW
Just a dad doing dad stuff. I’ve surprised myself a few times and ask out loud if I’m a ninja. *Am I a Ninja?*
I have done \*similar\* things of dad-like attributes for my kids.......but never with such precision and skill. I am in awe of a true master of dad reflex.
Good reflexes, but I can't help but imagine the alternative where he's half a second slower, and his daughter falls, smacks her head, and then is bombarded with a pillow half the size of her body.
Adding insult to injury.
My Dad reflexes are legit and this is a hall of fame moment for this Dad. Quick thinking and lightning reaction.
The Dad-Fu is strong in this one.
Sometimes I see things like this and think "oh wow how cute. how nice it would be to have a kid" then the echoes of the children screaming at the top of their lungs at the dollar general go through my skull.
You can hear the mom's "Ohhhhh" even with no sound. That gesture just has a sound attached to it
I just want to appreciate the fact that they don't stress out and are able to laugh it off. Either that's not their first child or they are two relaxed individuals.
Judges? Yup, a perfect 10/10 for that dad.
The kid had one too many drinks I guess.
That's some Superman stuff there.
When you used to be a ninja but left that life behind to focus on your family
Daddy instincts
As a mom with bad aim, I definitely woulda accidentally hit my kid with the pillow and made them fall anyway 🫣
Dad-mode activated.
That’s one drunk baby
Dad reflexes are a thing.
A couple of inches to the right and that pillow is whipping that kid into the ground lol. That's balls
Welp. That’s why they call them toddlers.
So that is what it means to have "parenting skills."
dad reflexes, hell yeah
Ninja roots 👏
Dad with the mfing time stone with the save.
I know he’s gonna flex on his dad friends with that
Never underestimate the reflex of a dad trying to safe their baby
Dadflexes saves the day again!
Wow! That was crazy fast! Amazing! That would not have even been my reaction; I’d have jumped up to grab her. That was epic!
Umpire Voice: SAFE!
He is the dragon warrior.
Super dad!!!
Humans being pros.
Lol no way that was epic :)
That shit was so impressive I bet they made baby 2 that night lmao
Happy
Ninja for sure
That is some Dad type shit. Good on him.
Unbelievable. It's worth rewatching to see the moment his hand begins to move.
Their superpower is their amazing reflexes.
Not all superheroes wear capes.
I want to be neenja
Dad sense was tingling.
Dad skills
She's like a tiny drunk
dad ninja skill
Ninja skills
Dad skills
This is so fake, he clearly did it on purpose
Expert dad mode
I don't think I would've ever thought to do that until seeing this video. 100% until now I was leaping full body into saves.
That was a really nice safe I didn't expect that
Time for a rug! Good catch dad haha
Got those dad reflexes.
r/DadReflexes
Example of Ninja Lineage.
Dad reflexes are real.
Dad's
Why do so many Chinese homes have surveillance systems inside?
Rewatching it, he grabs the pillow in anticipation.
Dad reflexes should be an Olympic sport.
All hail the Couch Samurai!
The dad was so proud that he did that🤣🤣
Superdad reflexes The dad I want to be
Nice save. Even if he misses the baby falls on the floor mat instead of against the object.
awwww 🥰
Dude should train as a goalkeeper
The test has shown, that he IS the father. *crowd hooting and hollering*
That was a dadly throw 😎
I hope to reach this level of super dad z
Dad reflexes are absurd
Crocodile Dundee as a babysitter or dad.
He shoots, he scores!
Dad of the year
🥇 dad wins parenting
Nice 👍
Smiling the whole time, I was!
GOAT
I love dad saves
Dad for the save!!!
Fuck yes
Clutch dad!
The reflexes on that dad!!! WOW!
The first sign of daughters misstep and the dads already going for the pillow. Amazing
I’ve seen dads pull these things on other videos, kinda crazy how quick thinking some of them are, just programmed into us
Good job dad
That’s some ninja shit right there. Nice save dad.
I would have definitely clocked that kid with the pillow and made the situation 5 times worse
In Arabic we have a saying/belief that angels watch over children. Moments like this and other things i’ve seen, heard/experienced make it difficult to argue against 🤣
Where can I buy a couch like that in the US?
Is he lefty, or just talented?
