CHILDS PLAY: Waiters Lightning Reflexes Save Kid From Falling Badly From Chair

This is the moment a man grabs a child to save it from falling after it tries to reach the table while the chair it is standing on slips.

In the CCTV video, a man can be seen instantly grabbing the child who apparently stretches to take something from the table, right before the chair on which it was standing slips.

Two women approach the man, and one of them who is apparently the child’s mother takes the child in her arms while the other people from the table watch smilingly at them.

According to reports, the brave man who rescued the child was the store manager who noticed the dangerous situation while the parents of the child were sitting at another table and talking. They became aware of the situation only after the rescue.

The video gained a lot of comments on the social network Douyin, which is what TikTok is called in China, such as netizen ‘Peng Xinfeng’ who said: “I hate this kind of thing. I sit on the side and let the children play. It’s the store’s responsibility when something goes wrong.”
