A three-year-old boy from the Ukrainian city of Kharkov fell eight storeys but survived because a huge heap of snow broke his fall, the interior ministry said. This happened when the child apparently opened a window of his room, leaned out and fell into a huge snowdrift under the window when his mother left him unattended.. He survived and was rushed to the medical emergency hospital where the Doctors said his condition is grave, but stable," the ministry said.

There are several wondrous survival cases happening like the miraculous escape of a 29-year-old Chinese woman from death after she jumped off the 27th floor in the year 2009 and also the survival of a window cleaner who plummeted 47 storeys from the roof of a Manhattan skyscraper in the year 2008. Even in 2010, a 10-year-old Chinese boy who fell 20 storeys from an apartment window survived after landing on a parked car. The survival of a 22-year-old Australian woman after her unsuccessful bungee jump from a 111-metre bridge when she  suffered only bruises and a broken collar bone while her safety cord snapped, sending her into the crocodile-infested waters of the Zambezi river.

The survivors may vary and the survivals may differ but the impact remains the same! It's the moment that we never tend to forget in our life may be how much courage and dare we try to necessitate, it never works. In fact, when we try to imagine the moment of escape or survival, we may undoubtedly have to sacrifice a weeks sleep in the night!
