CCTV footage captures man's awesome 'dad reflexes'
There is something about becoming a parent that gives certain people ninja-like reflexes when their child is in danger.
One dad has captured proof of that fact on CCTV footage which shows his swift actions when his toddler begins to fall from the couch.
The dad, who shares videos on his appropriately named @ninjaman87 account, can be seen throwing himself around the couch and to the ground in order to catch the falling boy.

Viewers are impressed with the dad's efforts, but note the toddler does not seem to appreciate what has just happened.
"Kid just looks at him like 'Bro I had this under control'," one person wrote.
The quick thinking dad updated followers, saying his body was "still hurting" as a result of the incident.
It is not the first time the US family's CCTV footage has captured a memorable moment.
Earlier this year the dad shared a sweet clip of his son taking his first steps.
The video, which has been viewed more than 19 million times, shows the excited reaction of the toddler's parents after they realise what just happened.
