Tough kid: California toddler OK after 30-foot fall onto bed of rocks

ANTIOCH, Calif. - Talk about a tough kid: A California toddler is alive after falling 30 feet (9 metres) from an apartment window and landing on concrete and rocks.

Contra Costa County Fire Capt. Charles Thomas says the 22-month-old boy was alert and crying after the three-story plunge Sunday in Antioch that left him with just a cut on his abdomen, a bruised lung and a bump on his head.

The boy appeared to have climbed onto furniture near an open window, then fell after pushing against the screen. He landed on concrete and a bed of rocks.

Let's see him ride his stroller in front of a train....Wuss!

This kid has me beat, first (and not the only sadly) time I fell 30 feet, it was out of a tree. I was 7 or 8 and I remember that I just got up and kept playing much to my friends parents surprise (and fear I'm sure!)

I have never been run over by a train, however.

In all seriousness I am glad the kid is ok. Falls can go really good or really bad. Any one you walk away from is really good!

I guess I need to watch my local news more often. Antioch is only 20 minutes from me (same place Jaycee was held). That is amazing! It's so nice to hear these horrible things having happy endings.
