webfact Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 Video: Gate falls on small child at Ratchaburi house video screenshot CCTV showed a rusty iron gate fall on a little girl after an adult prepared to leave the house on a motorbike. The little child then got on the bike apparently none the worse for wear. Adults rushed to fix the gate back on its runner before inquiring about the child. The footage did not show what happened next such as whether the adult then drove off with the child who was not wearing a helmet. The story featured on the Facebook page of Thai Rath who called it a warning about rusty old gates. It happened in Pak Raet sub-district of Ban Pong district, Ratchaburi. -- © Copyright Thai Visa News 2018-10-16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BB1958 Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 I'm sure someone else will comment - it seems the entire focus was property - THEN go and check the child more thoroughly... Of course the child could have said she is perfectly fine.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kotsak Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 Rusty my a$$, zero maintenance (tit style), probably the gate stopper went missing and the girl pulled the gate more than she should. She is very lucky, my friend got his leg busted while at the army from such an incident. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HHTel Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 A friend of mine had his gate fall on a young child who was playing with his own child in the garden. Sadly, the child was killed. I was building a house at the time and looked very carefully at contractors before having the gate installed. I eventually used a company in BKK. Although much more expensive, that was 13 years ago and it's still very safe. It's a 6 metre gate and if not installed correctly, I dread to think what may have happened.
