Parents are incredible, we all know that. But some parenting skills defy logic, belief ... or even physics.
In a video posted on Reddit, a mum shows incredibly reflexes by saving her child from falling off a balcony.
The footage shows the mother and child walking out of an elevator. When the mum is momentarily distracted, the child, who appears to be around 3 or 4 years old, decides to launch himself off the balcony on their right.
The toddler can be seen bending the knees and springing forward before her mum's incredible reflexes kick in.
