[quote]A boy in China was saved from the certain death of an eight-storey fall when his head got stuck in the bars of a window after he fell through.
Ming Ming, aged six, was only prevented from plunging straight through the grate to his death by his ears.
Instead, he was left dangling high above the street, to the terror of passers-by below.
His screams, audible at street level, alerted them to his life-threatening predicament.
Emergency services raced to save him, worried the weight of his body might pull him through the bars or cause him to suffocate.
They used a hydraulic pressure expander to force the bars apart and pulled Ming Ming back into his family's flat.
A large crowd gathered on the street below as they carried out the rescue.
He is believed to have wandered to the window while looking for his grandfather, who had left him sleeping to run an errand.
Fire service spokesman Wang Shen said it was a miraculous escape.
He said: "He could have fallen to the ground - or have been suffocated - at any minute." - Daily Mail[/quote]

He must of had quite an earful there.
Holy shit. Ears can hold your entire body like that?
I figured they would just deform / break under the pressure.

No idea.
A kid stupid enough to get into that sort of position would be called a weirdo regardless.

Why did they even have bars for the window?

if the bars weren't there the child would've fallen to his death

In a lot of countries where they live in these huge apartment buildings, they use these bars to put stuff there to dry or for some other reason
Anyone else curious as to how the rest of his body got through the bars?

Guessing he came in sideways, then rotated.

Damn that sounds so dirty

Yup, hang by your ears instead of using your fully functional hands to hold onto the bars

He was probably exhausted from holding on to the bars. Also it looks like that the fireman has him by the hair.
