Before you go all worried about the boy, don’t worry: he’s now in stable condition, and he could have saved by the last thing you’d have imagined: his diapers.
Here’s what happened.
Boy Fell from 11th Storey
On 25 November 2018 (Sunday) morning, the two-year-old boy was allegedly standing on a stool near the window. For some reason, he fell from the window.

According to an eyewitness, as the boy fell, his diaper caught on to a clothes rack at the fourth storey, therefore reducing the impact and cushioning his fall.
When the boy landed, he was conscious and crying.
A resident immediately approached a nearby clinic, and a GP rushed out to help. He assisted to keep the boy’s neck stable until the ambulance came five minutes later.
The boy is now warded in KK Hospital and is now in stable condition.
The incident allegedly occurred a Blk 182A of Rivervale Crescent.
Video Footage Went Viral
An aftermath of the fall was filmed and posted online, showing a group of concerned residents. As of today, there are over 335K views.
