Super-girl!

French media are describing as a "miracle" the unscathed survival of an 18-month-old girl who fell from a sixth-floor apartment.[^]
The girl was left unattended by her parents when she somehow fell, then bounced off the awning of a cafe below. She had a further stroke of luck when a passing doctor saw her fall and caught her before she hit the ground, witnesses were quoted as saying. [. . .] The man who caught the girl was walking by with his wife and son when the boy spotted the girl falling.
Awesome bit of good fortune there. But her parents suck!

Yes and no... There are interesting reports coming out at the moment that are basically blaming parents who cotton-wool their kids for the number of young people dying/seriously injured, as they never learned how to safely take/evaluate risks. I tend to agree with this premise - people are so over-the-top protective of their kids here, that at the school where my boys go there are two bike racks... When I was at school, there were probably 40 bike racks in a similar sized school. Parental paranoia is (apparently) stopping kids from riding to school...

There's a bit of statistical chicanery going on there. Another way to look at it is that more teens seem to be dying because people who would have died as toddlers lived to die another day. If you cut down the number of deaths in any age group you increase the number of deaths older age groups. Perhaps we need controlled accidents for kids. A service that will put your kid in a situation that will cause a broken arm or leg, but teach a valuable lesson.
