Boy, 4, Jumps On Bed, Tumbles 35 Feet Out Window

BURBANK (CBS2) — A 4-year-old boy survived a 35-foot fall out of a third floor window at an apartment complex in Burbank Tuesday.

Carl Segui's parents said their son was jumping on a bed when he suddenly flipped out of the window and landed on top of a bush.

His mother said she feared the worst.

"I was thinking, 'Oh my God, is he alive?'" she said.

The young boy was rushed to a local hospital and kept overnight.

"I was just crying the whole time and praying," said Carl's mother.

Merely 24 hours later, Carl left the hospital with a few stiches on his head and a bandage to protect it.

"No fracture… nothing at all …only a contusion," the boy's mom said. "He is a miracle kid. We are lucky to have him."

Carl said he felt like a "superhero" after his 3-story fall.

After all, he did dress up as Batman for Halloween.
