Boy falls off the edge of a building but is saved by his ears

In 2010 in China a six-year-old boy slipped between the security bars on his apartment windows but was saved from falling eight storeys to ground below, as his head couldn’t fit through the window bars, and he was left dangling from his ears. I think this is crazy, do you?


The boy was called Ming Ming and he was being looked after by his grandad, at the time of the accident, but the Ming Ming's grandad had taken a nap, and he was left unattended.

Many people think that the boy was looking for the man through his appartment window, but he slipped and almost fell straight through the window’s security bars. But his head was too big for the narrow bars and this almost certainly saved his life because it stopped Ming Ming from falling eight storeys, onto the road.

Ming Ming's grandad found him in time and called the fire brigade, who came and cut his head out of the bars with hydraulic tools. He was very lucky, a spokesperson for the fire brigade said, “He could have fallen to the ground – or have been suffocated – at any minute.”

He is very lucky to still be alive!
