MELBOURNE, Australia — A 6-month-old baby has miraculously survived a train hitting his stroller, which rolled onto the tracks when his mother let go for an instant.
The escape was captured on security camera footage that shows the red, three-wheeled stroller plunging off a station platform just as the commuter train pulls in, and the mother's panicked lunge to grab it.
The train pushed the stroller about 130 feet (40 meters) along the tracks before it stopped, but it did not go under the train.
The baby, who was strapped into the stroller, received only a bump on the head.
Police said they released the video, which was captured last Thursday at a suburban station in the southern city of Melbourne, to underscore the need for people to be extra safety conscious when using the train system.

What is that dark shadow on the tracks in the first pic?
Looks kinda eerie.
Amazing video - lucky baby!
Understatement of the year!
Quite fortunately the pram was only caught under the carriage and dragged, instead of getting sliced through by a wheel.
Here’s an idea, train/subway platforms should never slope towards the track - period.
Lucky kid! He/She’ll continue to be lucky if the maker of the stroller cut’s a fat check-contract with the Mom to represent the company in the inevitable onslaught of commercial advertising. Maybe they should also start building cars?
The video is incredible.

The Holy Ghost.
Good point about the stroller. That brand, whatever it is, is solid!

Angels. Two of them.
