Little Toddler
Brock Shoff was playing in his bedroom when a dresser tipped over onto
him as his brother Bowdy - and the home's surveillance cameras - looked
on.
What followed was an impressive feat of cool-headed action - and impressive strength - from the pint-sized superhero.
But the incident highlights concerns over the safety of children and the dangers of tall furniture.




The video, posted on Facebook Sunday
by the kids' parents as a warning of the dangers of tipping dressers,
starts with Brock already trapped and crying under the corner of the
heavy dresser
As the boy shifts around, the pressure on his ribcage is terrifyingly obvious
And with mom Kayli upstairs for just a moment, there are no adults around to help.
But
Bowdy doesn't need adults. He calmly walks around the dresser, trying
to figure out how to help his trapped twin, before coming up with a
plan.
At first, he tries to lift it up with his bare hands - but it's just too heavy.
Then he tries pushing it - and the item of furniture slowly but surely begins to move.
Brock,
meanwhile, is able to roll out from underneath, revealing that the
jammed-open drawers of the dresser have taken some of the weight off his
body.
The
fallen boy cries as his brother turns to him and the video ends, but
according to Kayli both boys were recovered and playing together when
she came back to the room.
She didn't hear the dresser falling or her son crying, she told the station.

Incredible moment a two-year-old boy saves his twin brother from being crushed beneath a fallen dresser
