Watch a child fall three floors onto concrete and survive

Oh Russia, where would online video oddities be without you? Be stunned and horrified as a bratty five-year-old kid disobeys his mother, hell-bent on sliding down the rubber escalator handrail at a mall in Novosibirsk in the nation’s south. When his guardians fail to wrangle the young boy back onto the steps, he slips and falls three stories, with security cameras capturing his descent. Onlookers seem to heave as he makes impact with the concrete floor, but according to reports, the child luckily escaped serious harm. [Source]

Update:This post has been updated to correct the age of boy.
