This lad seriously deserves a raise, or at the very least, a spot on a NFL team.

A Polish airport security worker is being hailed as a safe-hands-hero this week, after he caught a baby who fell off a luggage counter in Katowice-Pyrzowice Airport, Poland.

The incident occurred when the baby’s father placed the child on the counter in order to put his jacket back on. That’s when the kid started slowly leaning forward and off the counter.

The security guard leaped forward and caught the baby with only millimetres to spare, much to the relief of the kid’s parents.

The baby falls around the 0:22 mark in the video above, and just in case you’re wondering, the bloke did get a bonus for his fine work. Reminds us of Naked Gun 33 1/3 though
