In Sao Paulo, Brazil a disposable nappy saved the life of an 18-month-old baby boy by breaking his fall from a second floor window.
The nappy caught on a security spike which was embedded in the concrete wall round the block of flats where Caua Felipe Massaneiro lives. He dangled from the spike for a while, and then the nappy opened and he fell to the ground. But because it was at a slower speed and shorter than the original 30-foot drop, the nappy lessened the impact of the fall and saved his life.
What was miraculous about it was that the baby could have easily been killed by the spike rather than saved. The boy was treated for minor fractures at a nearby hospital. The boy's father said that it wasn't the nappy that saved him, it was God. He said the child had climbed onto a sofa underneath the window he fell from, which was something he had never done before.
Talk about huggies and pampers! Whichever brand it was, it certainly lived up to its name!
