A disposable diaper saved a baby

A disposable diaper has saved the life of an 18-month-old boy. How? The baby fell from a third-floor apartment window. The baby survived a 30-foot (10-meter) fall because his diaper held up on a security spike surrounded in the concrete wall around his apartment building in Brazil. The boys hang from the spike for a moment, then "the diaper opened and the baby fell to the ground, but at a much slower speed. This is a miracle! The spikes could also have killed the baby. The child was treated for minor fractures at the hospital and he was in stable condition. I guess, this is a parental negligence. That was a miracle!

Police have opened an investigation to determine how the toddler fell out the window and "if parental negligence was one of the causes," the police officer said. The parents of the baby said that it wasn't the diaper that saved him but "It was God."
