Just saw this on Tom's Hardware

Quote:

he video footage below shows the moment an Australian mother forgot to put the brakes on before letting go of the stroller containing her toddler. The pram rolled onto the tracks and a second later, was hit by an oncoming train that was pulling into the station.

Officials say the stroller protected the baby, who was dragged 30 meters down the track. He suffered no injuries save for a bump to the side of his head.

from another news story:

"The amazing tale of survival came the day after the launch of a railway safety program urging those with prams to apply the brake when they were on station platforms waiting for trains - to avoid just such an eventuality."
