I remember one of my little guys (he'll be 25 this year, so I'm talking about a long time ago) zipped out of the bathroom while I was getting a towel down for him. When they walk at 10 months it can get pretty hairy. The stairs were right there - hardwood, steep, narrow. He ran straight out into space. I was right behind him and dove head first down the stairs. Was able to catch him in the air before he hit anything. Problem was, I then couldn't move because I was holding him in my arms, and my legs were spread out and pressing against the walls to brake our fall. Any movement and I would have continued down the stairs and probably crushed the little guy in the process. Luckily the ex was home, and within earshot, and she came and fetched the boy from me so I could get myself off the stairs. I was a bit banged up but he was fine.
