Strangers help cushion the fall for little boy at park
This could've turned out way worse than it did...
Taking the kids out has become more of a safety concern for some parents.
While we love to see them happy and excited to be out of the house, several safety concerns can sometimes leave us feeling helpless. Even a trip to the park can become a significant safety hazard.
A video shared on social media shows a little boy manoeuvring his way to the top of a metal tube slide at a park. It is surprising to see how he managed to climb to the top without being noticed by his guardians.
This is a reminder that you cannot turn your eyes away from a toddler for a minute.
The boy attracted some attention from other parents in the park, and many of them were trying to tell him not to move.
But the boy realised how high he was and turned, causing him to slip off and fall. He must've been more than six metres from the ground, but when people saw him fall, they rushed under to break his fall.
Two men fell on the ground, and so did the boy, luckily, he wasn't badly injured. However, he began crying out of shock.
The video is a reminder to constantly keep an eye on kids, even at the park. Staying vigilant doesn't just involve watching out for strangers, but also acknowledging safety hazards.
