The other day, unloading a dishwasher, I dropped a plate .
With my lightening fast reactions I stuck out a foot, getting my foot under the falling plate and stopping it so that it didn't break.
I would not have had time to bend down and catch it with hands
Of course I ran a risk, a fraction of a second later rather than catching the plate my foot would have kicked it across the kitchen..
With a moving ball on a rugby pitch sometimes a player might do something similar
