Diaper saves toddler

SAO PAULO: A disposable diaper saved the life of an 18-month-old, breaking his fall from a third-floor window.

Caua Felipe Massaneiro survived the fall because his diaper snagged on a security spike embedded in the concrete wall around his apartment building in the city of Recife. He was treated for minor fractures. — AP
