A 5-year-old boy fell to the ground from a window of his home in the fifth storey of a building in Changchun of Jilin Province on Monday.

The boy only suffered a few wounds and bone fractures in his legs. After dropping form the window, he was stopped by a steel wire between the second and first floors, which is thought to have helped reduce his injury.
