Washing Machine Accident

A 3 year old boy has only just survived having his arm ripped off by a washing machine when he opened the door during its spin cycle.Rachel Roberts rushed her 3 year old son Lewis Lightfoot to hospital, but the doctors were unable to save his arm because of the severe damages from the accident. Rachels other child (5 years old) watched the accident as Lewis screamed for his mum to help him.

Rachel was in the living room at the time of the accident and only came out as she heared her son screaming loudly."When I asked him about what happened, he said, 'I opened the door and went round and round and then my arm fell off,'" Rachel told the news."I can't believe he was able to open the door so easily. It was terrifying. I'm devastated," Rachel later added.

A report from Yahoo News that in the Perth suburb of Hilton last year, three-year-old Sean Murphy and his cat was found unconscious in a front-loading washing machine in the family home. Both the toddler and the cat died in the tragic accident.
