This is the moment a quick-witted mother "crashes" into her living room just in time to catch her daughter falling off a sofa.

According to foreign media, the Telegraph reports, the footage taken in Ocala, Florida, last month - published by Daily Mail - show the little girl playing on the chair while the rest of the family can be heard in the next room.


However, at one point the child seems to try to sit up but then loses her balance.

She then uses her natural instinct to try to sit down again and again, but because she is sitting on the sofa backwards, she starts to topple over.

Her mother - who is pregnant - notices her acting erratically and that she is in danger of getting hurt, so she immediately rushes to catch her by "diving" down to the floor.

"I caught her head in time and tried to avoid her falling headfirst. Fortunately, everyone is safe and sound!" she said. /Telegrafi/
