Intermountain Health doctors and parents of a girl who fell from a window are warning parents to only open windows 4 inches or use window locks to prevent such accidents.
RIVERTON — Tariq Staton's first reaction when he heard a bang on his garage door was to check on his little girl.
Staton sad he could tell his daughter had fallen out the second-story window, hit his car, bounced onto the garage door and then fallen to the ground. She had dirt and blood on her face but was conscious when he found her. He stabilized her head, moved her into the house and then he and his wife rushed their young child to the hospital.
Jazarah, now 5 years old, acted shy at a press conference Monday. She looked healthy and has recovered from her fall. Dr. Michael Rollins, a pediatric trauma surgeon at Primary Children's Hospital, said doctors there treat about 28 children each year who have fallen out of windows, mostly children who were transferred for more specialized care. He said over the last few years they have noticed injuries getting more serious — almost doubling the injury significance score used by the hospital in the last two years from 9 to 15.
If a child does fall from a window, or any height over 10 feet, he said parents should have them evaluated by a medical professional. If a child seems lethargic after a fall or is not moving, it indicates more severe injury and he recommends calling 911.
