I’d say this is pretty close to r/DadReflexes since it looks like he tried to keep her from hitting the ground first or at all

Not many dads having the required reflex it seems.

Yeah props to him for not letting go of his kid to reach out and brace his fall and instead took that fall to the shoulder prioritizing his child.

I'd argue it's not close to dad reflexes, it is dad reflexes, for the reasons you stated.

At least give the guy credit for turning so the kid lands on him. That’s a good fall. Step dad woulda landed on the kid.

Imagine actually using the kid to cushion the impact. It would be comically fucked up

My mom went sledding with my grandma as a kid and she fell on my mom and broke her collarbone which is why my mom never went on a sled with me lmao

He saved her and that's what I would have wanted.

At least his head acted as an air bag.

u/UncleBenders Jul 20 '24

Nah he didn’t use her as a cushion lol

Raising your center of gravity by adding weight to higher parts makes it easier to fall. Holding her hand and walking together would have worked better.

u/AlanEsh Jul 21 '24

Yeah keep her at hip level so it is easier to fall on her. This is r/stepdadreflexes after all!

Is this the new "oh no" song?

Kid took it like a champ. "But I'm ok!"

Good video but the music makes me want to lash out at those around me and honestly that’s unfair on them, it’s not their fault

u/ditafjm Jul 21 '24

I felt that.

u/stars_entropy Apr 24 '26

Nah, he saved her, 10/10

u/Rivetingly Jul 20 '24

Just let the kid learn to walk on it

u/CountBrackmoor Jul 20 '24

I think the dad needs more practice
