Parents and doctors are stunned by the case.
In France, a 4-year-old boy named Enzo miraculously survived a 43-meter fall from his 16th-floor apartment, receiving only scratches.
This is reported by Le Parisien.
An unusual incident occurred on May 26 in a multi-story apartment complex in Aubervilliers, central France. Enzo, a boy diagnosed with autism, was in his room when his father, G, heard him crying. As always, he rushed to check on his son and calm him down, but when he tried to enter the boy's room, he realized that the door was locked. This had never happened before, and the parents suspect that the boy accidentally locked himself inside, which led to panic. By the time G managed to break down the door, Enzo's crying had stopped and the room seemed empty. Seeing the open window, the man realized with horror that he was too late.
Running out onto the balcony and seeing Enzo lying motionless on the dirt-covered roof of the first floor drugstore, G ran out of the apartment building and climbed onto the drugstore roof to get there. Fearing the worst, he was stunned to see that Enzo was able to walk on his own, with only a scratch on his leg to prove that he had fallen 43 meters.
“Enzo was able to move,” Gee told the French newspaper. “He was conscious and I didn't see a drop of blood. He just had a small scratch on his leg.”
Enzo's parents were still worried about internal injuries, so they called an ambulance. The boy was taken to Necker Hospital, where he was kept under observation for seven days. During that time, doctors ran a series of tests to make sure he was as healthy as he seemed. Apart from some minor bleeding in his kidneys and lungs, which surgeons quickly fixed, the boy was fine. No one had ever seen anything like it.
After seven days, Enzo was discharged from the hospital and returned to his normal life as if nothing had happened. His parents were stunned, as were the doctors who treated him. He was even able to return to kindergarten in the last week of June, looking as healthy as ever.
“He's back to normal, everything is fine,” said Helena, Enzo's mother. “I wasn't a believer, but now I am!”
How Enzo managed to not only survive the 16th-story fall from his family's apartment, but also not suffer any serious injuries or head trauma, is still a mystery. Some say the muddy roof of the drugstore cushioned her landing, but doctors are convinced it had more to do with his light, flexible body.
“Children have a more favorable coefficient of elasticity of bones and joints,” said Dr. Veronica Burg.
Recall that a woman was found in the jungle who was chained to a tree for 40 days. She was saved by a shepherd passing by.
