A 10-year-old boy - who was enjoying a family barbeque outside his home in St Cloud, Minnesota - escaped serious injury after a laptop came hurtling past and crashed to the ground in front of him.
The portable PC had fallen from a medical helicopter flying above.
The boy's father, Grayson Peterka, said: "I heard the helicopter going by. It was pretty low and then they made like a turn. When that happened it fell to the ground."
Officials at the local hospital later confirmed the laptop was mistakenly left on the helicopter's skids by a crew member.


That lack of attention to details can cause harm, the questioning about what forms of harm could be caused by a lack of caring is answered by this story.
