And they allowed her to breed?

Here's another near miss for our collection (and let's have no sexist comments about women drivers forgetting the handbrake, chaps!).

Oh my goodness John, that was one lucky child. I can't imagine what the mother went through. Hopefully she will remember to keep the push chair away from the edge, and to put the brake on.

She's lucky she didn't have an episode like the one that happened in Sydney recently with the woman and her 6 mos old baby in a pram. It fell off the platform when the train was coming into the station and the train dragged it 100 metres. The baby escaped with only a slight bump on the head but they had to treat the engineer for emotional trauma. It was on the news this morning. It was an accident, yes-but why were the woman's hands not holding onto the pram to begin with? Duh...

I'm with CT on the stupidity aspect.

Hmm.... timing is everything. lol

It could easily have ended in a terrible tragedy with child and mother being killed, but knowing (thank God!) there's a happy ending, I must admit I find the clip quite amusing. Shame on me! It's rather a case of "Let him who is without guilt". I once left a petrol can unattended and a young child got hold of it and doused his legs in petrol. No harm came to him, but if he'd walked up to someone who was smoking ... It doesn't bear thinking about! We learn from our mistakes (if we're lucky).
