A 4-year-old boy from Bangkok, Thailand was only mildly injured after falling TEN FLOORS from the balcony of an apartment last Thursday.
According to China Press, the boy was allegedly left home alone with his brother. When his brother decided to go to the community pool of their apartment unit to play, he decided to explore his surroundings, as any curious child would when left unattended.
The child then proceeded to climb over the iron railing of the apartment balcony and fell 10 floors down! The footage, which was captured from a CCTV in the apartment, shows the forceful impact of his fall, which broke through a plastic table.

Bystanders who heard a loud noise quickly rushed to the scene. When they found the little boy lying down, they were surprised to find that he was still alive from the fall.
One onlooker picked him up and said that the boy actually seemed to act normal, he didn’t react like he had just fallen from the height of 10 floors! The boy said his left hand hurt and the bruises on his legs were very painful.

The Superboy survivor was then taken to the hospital for treatment to see if any internal injuries were incurred.
While we’re still trying to comprehend how this 4-year-old survived a fall from such a great height, reports have said that the impact of the fall might have been absorbed by the surrounding trees and canopies of vendor stalls on the ground floor.
Phew, that was a close call. Nonetheless, kids should always play under the supervision of a parent/guardian. This incident could’ve easily gone in a different direction.
