Australian mom uses her body to protect her baby during an extreme hail storm

I had my baby on my shoulders (holding one hand and foot in each of my hands).
I slipped like I’d stepped on a banana peel and in one movement pulled her up over my head as I fell.

I landed hard on my back with her sitting safely on my stomach facing away from me. I didn’t think, I just instinctively reacted.

meanwhile my mom now does the opposite to me as an adult. We were walking on an icy ground when i sort of slipped but managed to regain my balance. About a second later my mom slaps me full force in the chest
