I saw that, mate.
Amazing the little guy only had a couple of cuts and was fine.

As a dad, that scared me to death. I know it was a fluke, but there should be a barrier or a lip on the edge to keep things from rolling off onto the tracks.

Good idea.
Ummm, how about keeping a better eye on junior and keeping at least one hand on the pram?

Stand well back, engage the stroller's brake and make sure it's parallel to the edge.
That said, that kid sure did have a lucky escape.
It was on the news yesterday, scary indeed.
It's somehow ironic. One of the station in Melbourne was showing something about the danger of kids falling on the tracks this week. I guess it pushed that video to come out...

How did he escape? Did he just land between the wheels? Can you imagine how that mother must of felt. She didn't look like it in the video, but I would guess she would be absolutely hysterical.
I think the number of people that would catch their toe and stumble over a raised lip would far outweigh its usefulness. It might end up more dangerous than without. Then there's the wheelchair problem to consider. IMO, of course.
That's what I was gonna say. Then there'd be another video, this one about people tripping over the lip and falling onto the tracks. All this stuff to aid the clueless, like lane-departure warning for cars, and self-parking, it all irks the Hell out of me. What ever happened to pulling your head out and paying attention?
