This video has gone viral. I've seen many networks posting it on their page. It shows a little boy pushing the dresser that fell on his twin brother. I wouldn't think a 2 years old could be strong enough to push that. The parents said that they published the video to warn others of a similar danger in their kids room. I hope your little ones are safe in their rooms
A newly-released video is a sobering reminder of the hidden danger of falling furniture. Two toddlers in Utah were climbing a dresser when it tipped over on ...

When I saw that video I wondered how the boy underneath had not suffered any injuries at all. Amazing! I also wondered how a chest of drawers could be so unstable. Made in China maybe?

@Madshadi Ah! Yes I see on the news that occasionally their products are recalled because they are faulty or unsafe

@mysdianait Most of my furniture is from IKEA. But only heavy and big instalation. Nothing that could easily fall like in the video.

I saw this yesterday. Have it watched it from the beginning? The one that is safe tries to push the wardrobe early in the piece but when he can't, he virtually ignores the trapped child and climbs on the dresser which would put more weight on the boy that is trapped. The trapped kid really frees himself without too much help except at the very end.

Yes I've seen it from the beginning. He didn't do it perfectly but he did manage to save his twin brother at the end. He wasn't really aware of the danger his brother was in.

@Gina145 yeah if it wasn't for the title I'd think the boy didn't make it

I watched this last night from the news, it's sad to see... even though I wish this didn't happen - I'm glad the way the dress landed didn't harm the child.

Yeah the edge was very close to falling on his head. That wouldn't have ended well.

@Madshadi Yes, sure wouldn't. And I think that ball everyones was mentioning helped the child too and the fact the shelves were open I think that helped. It'd be nice if the parents' commented on where they were when this incident happened. Because it didn't show the kids running out to cry for them and the parents' didn't come either. I'd think there would be a monitor in addition to the camera.

@Madshadi Even if they're in their pajamas doesn't mean the parents are sleeping. Could be they're just dressed in their pajamas because they aren't going anywhere or lounging, or just woke up from a nap. I don't think they'll be able to sue Ikea anyway because Ikea requires you to mount and if you don't then that's your choice.

@Madshadi I saw two different videos the one he responds immediately the other one he plays first with the wire and even hop on the dresser before he save his twin. They are climbing up the dresser when they get out of balance

@averygirl72 you mean the first video was edited?

Not sure if he did it for the purpose of saving his brother or for some other reason. Notice how he was playing with a wire for a while, then jumped on the dresser not paying any attention to his little brother.

That's really frightening to watch. It's remarkable that neither boy was injured. It seems crazy that a piece of furniture that size needs to be pinned to the wall to ensure the safety of the users.

Yes it's not a rocket science. Parents should think about the safety in their kids room. Something that can be easily flipped like that should have been fixed to the wall, or replaced with something more stable.

@Gina145 yeah that too. But I think that the lion's share of blame should go to the parents. They should've known better and at least they should've been close enough to hear that.

@Madshadi I don't think all the blame should go to the parents though. Manufacturers shouldn't be allowed to make large pieces of furniture that are so unstable that they NEED to be fixed to the wall.

I thought that too. A boy his age wouldn't tell if someone is in danger
