In late march a five year-old boy fell 8 stories while playing with friends on the balcony of his parent’s apartment in Zhuhai. Miraculously, after falling the boy got up and rushed back into the elevator as if nothing had happened.
The ground was apparently muddy enough to soften the impact of his fall, and his parents didn’t even realize that he was injured until the next day. They promptly took him to the Zhuhai Children’s Hospital, where they learned that he’d suffered multiple fractures and had ruptured his kidneys and spleen.
They boy’s condition stabilized after about a week in critical care, and he was finally released from the hospital on April 23, after being treated for internal injuries for nearly a month.
The craziest part of this story—after discovering that their son was injured, the parents went back to the area where he’d fallen and noticed a 20cm-deep imprint in the ground…

Stupid parents!! Why weren't they watching the boy and why were they letting the children play on the balcony? :(

I remember one particular thing my high school biology teacher told us: say for instance two people were in a car crash. The person who is most likely to die is not the one who is screaming like crazy and moaning from the pain, it's the one who stays silent and on the outside looks like everything is ok, except for a few scratches. He's the one who probably has the most internal injuries. The boy is lucky he survived and his parents were also lucky they found out what happened. Otherwise the kid might've dropped dead within a few days.
