This father from Marin County, California, shows off his 'dad reflexes' by catching his 11-month old son in the nick of time after he falls from a chest of drawers.<br /><br />Damien Filiatrault was fixing their diaper disposal system when he noticed his son, River, rolling off the changing table.<br /><br />Luckily Damien managed to catch his son, preventing any serious injury. The grateful father told Newsflare: "Our housecleaner had left the diaper genie taken apart, so I got slightly distracted trying to fix it while our son, River, was on the changing table. <br /><br />"River got curious as to what I was doing and would have crashed headfirst into the floor if I hadn't noticed at the last second.<br /><br />"I said 'Jesus' as it happened and 'wow, River' after I put him down. I was thinking how impossible this diaper genie is to get working right. Literally, no time to think when he started to fall. The part my friends love is how I just went right back to fixing the diaper genie like nothing happened!"<br /><br />This footage was filmed on Thursday, May 16.
