This has to be the luckiest baby ever. Absolutly shocking.

You'd think platforms would be angled so prams wouldn't roll that way.

agreed..


Very stupid that they aren't when you think about it, especially after seeing that. Not even difficult to do just common sense!!

prams come with brakes, why would they need to angle platforms?

Yes they do but as we can see from the video some people can't be trusted with using the brakes on a pram. But every little helps. Why wouldn't you is the question really.

another one in the news here....a girl drowned when dad let go, she rolled into the sea and died....he was busy snogging his girlfriend.

Parents need to look after their kids.

not everywhere can be flat, sloping the 'right' way.

I know what you mean, parents do need to look after their kids but I just think were it can be done it should be done, especially in dangerous places like train platforms.  :y

assume that if the brakes fail at the moment..

and if you need to transport things with wheels.. etc etc..

at least a flat surface to do not that hard..

i'm trying to decide, if she had more sensible footwear on, and not slipped, would she have reached the pram before it tipped over the edge?

Or, by the time she noticed, and had reached it, might have made it worse and got it caught between platform and train.

Lucky lad anyway. Phew.

Thats the current mentality of an increasing number of the population.  If the parents are that stupid, well, the kid stands no chance with the genes provided....

Too be honest, I think we should let trains hit these parents and their kids.  There is no shortage of stupid people in the world to replace these idiots....
