At 14 months, this baby survived a fall from the 3rd floor

It is almost a miracle. Sunday May 31, in Saint-Dié-des-Vosges (88), a 14 month old baby almost lost his life. As Vosges Matin reports, the little boy fell from the third floor of the building where he resides, around 12:30 p.m. that day. The child is said to have escaped parental supervision and then passed through the bars of one of the apartment windows.

Rescuers quickly arrived on the spot. Although they found the toddler unconscious, the little warrior survived the fall. He was transferred by helicopter to a hospital in Nancy. An investigation was opened to determine the circumstances of this accident.

Frequent accidents

Each year in France, more than 11 million people are victims of everyday accidents (domestic accidents, leisure accidents, etc.), according to Assurance Prévention, and nearly 20,000 people die from them. It is also the leading cause of death in children aged 1 to 14.

As they grow older, babies become more and more curious. They put their little fingers everywhere, and everything they find in the mouth. Every corner of the house can quickly become a real danger. This is why it is essential to adopt small gestures on a daily basis to prevent domestic accidents, such as:

• Do not leave windows open if they do not have a security system, do not place furniture in front of a window
• Install security barriers for stairs
• Secure the grips so that baby cannot put their fingers inside
• Keep out of reach of children all objects presenting a risk of falling or suffocation
• Attach furniture that is not stable to the wall
