More than ten meters of fall, and almost no after-effects.
An 18-month-old baby put his robustness to the test on Tuesday by falling from the fourth floor of the building where his parents reside, in Saint-Etienne.
The fall, the outcome of which was very likely to be dramatic, results in less injury, says France Bleu Saint-Etienne.
A miracle.
In his misfortune, the infant crossed the path of a pile of wood chips, which cushioned its reception.
The emergency services intervened in the Montchovet district where the tragedy took place to take the child to the pediatric emergencies of the CHU of Saint-Priest-en-Jarez, and the examinations would have confirmed the happy news: more fear than harm for the baby.
An open investigation
The toddler would only suffer from a slight injury to his foot, indicates the daily Le Progrès, which specifies that he is also “immediately recovered” from his fall.
Police have opened an investigation to shed light on the circumstances of this accident.
At the beginning of January in Montrouge, a miracle of the same type occurred when a 2-year-old girl was defenestrated by a person clearly suffering from mental disorders.
No wood chips this time, but bushes had allowed her to survive, again without any fractures or bruises.
In 2019, a 2-year-old child survived a fall from the ninth floor of a Parisian building, received by a strip of bushes located below the building.
