A three-year-old boy in the US, who was pretending to be Spider-Man, miraculously survived death after tumbling out of a third-floor apartment window.
The boy was playing superheroes at home with a sibling on Monday night when the playtime went horribly wrong and he ended up in the hospital in Anaheim, California.
Reports suggest he was jumping on a bed when he knocked off a screen and tumbled out the window.
However, his fall was miraculously broken by bushes and dirt on the ground, 'New York Daily News' reported.
His parents found him bleeding from the head but still conscious.
The boy was rushed to a hospital, where doctors said he had suffered only "minor" injuries.
Anaheim police Seargent Wayne Alonso said it was a warning about kids having access to windows.
"You never want to have anything up against a wall that a kid could climb on to have access to a window," Alonso told City News Service.
