An American boy was almost killed by a computer falling from the sky.

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.
