A 13-month-old baby girl survived after falling from an open window out of a six-story building where she lived with her mother in Shenyang, Liaoning Province, on Monday.
After finding her lying on the ground below, her mother rushed her to a hospital for treatment. To the doctor's surprise, the baby girl only had a slight cerebral concussion and a few scratches on her arms. "She may have touched the soft earth below with her arms as she dropped off the building," a doctor surnamed Li said.

It is hard to believe such story, but there are actually many such things happen around us. How do you think?
The most inconceivable is that there is only slight cerebral concussion and a few scratches on the baby's arms. How could that happen even she did fall on very soft something, that is six floors' high. I don't think a miracle could be the answer. |

I believe that we shouldn't try to find explanations for things such as this. Something good happened, the child was lucky. Just be glad that the baby is okay. When you try to explain what people consider unexplainable it just poses more questions.

what really matter is that the child survived the fall it is indeed a miracle of God...It is such things thta really make you believe that the super force is looking over you and that the child was being protected by the Allmighty .. no science has been able to predict such events and that is why we believe in God ....

Oh, wow. This kid really got lucky. The question is, how did she fall from sixth floor, anyway? Her parents should at least be in some legal trouble for child neglect after this one. Nothing short of neglect explains how this child was dropped six floors.

Indeed, 'tis a very lucky baby - and a story to tell when she is older.
Why she fell? Depending on what type of building it was, it could've been just shoddy construction (which there is a fair bit of in China) or a lack of decent barriers. I bet the parents will never let it happen again though. |

| The child is very lucky indeed and it's very fortunate that she was not injured or even killed in the fall. It does make you wonder how a child that small could fall that far down in the first place, but there are plenty of reasons about how this could have happened. With the brief excerpt there was really no indication of how she wound up falling, but it is a blessing that she is still alive. Hopefully however it happened is a situation that will not repeat itself every again. If it is a safety issue within the building itself, then hopefully the parents or the people in charge of running the building will be able to do what is necessary to ensure no one else will ever have to experience something like that again considering that the next person would undoubtedly be as lucky as the little girl was. Some angel must have been looking after her in that fall for sure. I'm glad to hear that she wasn't hurt any worse than she was. |

It seems the small child was able to fall 'properly'. You know, stuntmen (doing movie stunts) also learn to fall properly, and the baby seems to have done that by accident/without thinking about it.
Though I actually think it's a better question how it's possible a baby could fell from the sixth floor of a building. I guess she has pretty irresponsible parents.
The child is very lucky, but I think the police must properly investigate this, because if the parents are to blame for being irresponsible, they should loose the baby. (Because I just don't believe she would be this lucky if something like this happens a second time)

Well, the article gives another impression

That is definitely a very lucky baby... I have a question, though. Honestly, how slight can a cerebral concussion really be? I've no background in the area (I can claim to be an amateur linguist, but an amateur doctor I am most definitely not), but it sounds funny.

you make a very good point there. Fear is instilled in children by their parents - some of it good (eg - fear of touching the cooker/fire, etc etc) and some of it bad (children don't become scared of the dark/ghosts etc for no reason, it comes from their parents). So this child perhaps didn't realise that falling this far could hurt, so it wouldn't have tensed it's body in preparation for the impact, the way an adult would have. It might even not have attempted to put it's arms out to brace itself against it. A limp body would have absorbed the impact much better. In the same way drunk people fall over with no apparent consequences, but if it happened when they were sober the same fall might have had different resulting injuries. |

So you are telling me to not ask questions, to just be thankful? Bologna! Always question, always wonder. If your idea were the case, Cancer research and modern medicine wouldn't be where it is today. Sorry, but accepting the statement "It happened, oh well" isn't my style. Because if that was the case, it would just end up being people dieing for no reason and people not giving a hoot under the thoughts that questioning is useless due to more questions arising.
Sure, I am very very happy the child lied, and it is very wonderful, but trying to understand why the child lived, and how it was possible is a good thing! Maybe the falling holds a secret that we could harness? Something. It's always good to ask questions.

I'm not saying not to ask questions!
I am saying when you ask questions in predicaments such as this you pose more questions then answers and waste time on what time should not be wasted on

And who says that asking questions s to how a survivor survives is a waste of time?

Simply because it is impossible to find an explanation that fits.
