[QUOTE]A man successfully caught a one-year-old baby who fell from a second-story window on Sunday in a south China, according to local reports.
The child who it was believed went looking for his mother, climbed onto the window ledge during a heavy thunderstorm in Xiaolan Town, Zhongshan City of Guangdong Province.
In the video a local man, identified as only as Mr Li, can be seen hurrying across the road and holding out his arms to catch the falling child.
Another man Mr Hu also rushed to the site to join in the rescue, along with other nearby residents who put several pieces of cardboard and a sofa on the ground under the window in the hope of breaking the child's fall
"I didn't think too much at the time. I was just afraid of failing to catch him " said Mr Li.[/QUOTE]

The woman at the end of the video is the child's mother.
Imagine how amazing that guy probably felt after that. You just can't have a bad day if it starts off with you successfully, single-handedly saving a child from falling to his death.

Catch the baby or fail.
christ, i hope that kid is all okay. It looks like the dude caught the baby when he was sideways, which probably bodes better. the force from the sudden stop of hitting the dudes arms seems like it probably could have broken or at least seriously injured the baby's neck
christ... that was an incredibly tough catch. Could have very easily gone wrong :(
I always heard that Chinese men complained about catching things from random women, never thought they meant catching babies.
Is it me or is that a tall looking baby?
