A boy in China, inspired by cartoon characters exhibiting superhuman abilities, jumped from his apartment on the 26th floor using an umbrella as a “parachute”.
Miraculously, the four-year-old child from Hunan province survived the deadly stunt, sustaining only a broken arm and multiple fractures., the boy was attempting to imitate a scene from a cartoon he had watched. His parents were not at home at the time, and his grandmother was looking after his sister downstairs when the incident took place.
As the boy was relatively light in weight, his fall was apparently slowed by the umbrella, and he was also cushioned by some trees when he fell.
