Cats deploy their claws on reflex, they same way you use your fingertips. Could you imagine reaching out to grab something while falling without using the last joint on your fingers? It’s why declawing a cat is illegal in so many places. It’s literally like amputating the part of your finger that has your fingernails, and the part of your toe that has your toenails.
Yeah, their claws are weapons, but they’re also one of the most important parts of their bodies. If you’re helping a cat in distress, especially if it is falling, be aware, their claws will be out. They can’t help it.
They use their claws to cling onto things. So in panic while trying to cling onto something you can bet that the claws will be out while they frantically (as seen in the video) throw their paws around in hopes of catching a surface.
For real. My cat was still tipsy after the castration narcotics and wanted to climb to his favourite spot but couldn’t walk straight. I had my hand under his to catch him. He scratched me like hell. Well he didn’t hurt himself.

5 of their 6 ends are sharp.
