Falls from high windows more common in boys

Boys are far more likely to fall out of high windows than girls, a study reveals.

It found that boys were involved in 33 out of 45 cases of high-window falls recorded by an Irish children’s hospital over 21 months — a ratio of nearly 3:1.

The study examined all high window fall cases admitted to Temple Street Children’s University Hospital in Dublin between Jan 2010 and Sept 2012.
