Novi Pazar toddler goes viral after clinging to moving garage door
A video of a three-year-old boy from Novi Pazar has gone viral on social media after security cameras captured him clinging to a moving garage door with one hand. As the door began to rise, the toddler held on tightly, lifting himself off the ground.
The boy's father, Edin Ujkanović, noticed the situation immediately and rushed to safely lower his son. Fortunately, the incident ended without any injuries. The footage has prompted a mix of humorous comments from social media users regarding the child's strength and serious reminders from safety experts.
Authorities and safety organizations, including the UK's Health and Safety Executive and the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, warn that automatic and moving doors pose significant risks to children, including entrapment and serious injury, emphasizing the need for constant parental supervision near such equipment.
