A disposable diaper just saved the life of a baby in Sao Paolo, Brazil.
The baby, Caua Felipe Massaneiro, 18 months, survived the 30 foot fall from their apartment residence. Police reports said that the his diaper “snagged on a security spike embedded in the concrete wall around his apartment building in the northeastern Brazilian city of Recife.”
“the diaper opened and the baby fell to the ground, but at a much slower speed. The diaper obviously lessened the impact of the fall and saved the baby’s life.” said a police officer
“It was a miracle,” said the officer who declined to be identified because she was not authorized to speak to the press. “He could also have been killed by one of the spikes.”
The child was treated for minor fractures at the Hospital Memorial Sao Jose, where spokesman Gilberto Tenorio said he was in stable condition.
Now the police are investigating if the boy’s parents are to be blamed for negligence.
Hurray for diapers!
