Oh, disposable diapers. So bad for the world. But so good for falling babies?
An 18-month-old boy in Sao Paulo, Brazil, toppled out of his family's third-floor apartment window and began the 30-foot descent to what should have been the end of his short life.
But! (Butt?)
The disposable diaper he was wearing snagged on a spike that was embedded into a wall of the concrete apartment building. Little Caua Felipe Massaneiro dangled there for a moment. The diaper's velcro tabs slowly released and he fell the final bit to the ground. The snag on the spike -- which, had he hit just a bit differently could have killed him before the rest of the fall -- slowed his fall significantly, thereby lessening the impact as he hit the ground.
He was taken to the hospital where his is in stable condition and being treated for minor fractures.
According to Caua's dad, the toddler crawled onto a couch that was positioned under the open window, something he's never done before. Police are investigating whether parental negligence is at fault.
Terrifying, to say the least. Hopefully the parents were also wearing diapers because surely they crapped their pants when this happened. I know I would have.
