A
Chinese teenager who jumped from a third-floor window in a suicide bid
after learning that her boyfriend is married was saved by a giant
pillow.
The 19-year-old Chinese woman threatened to launch herself from the building after discovering her partner had a wife and a ten year old child.
She clambered out onto a metal pole and threatened to jump.

But meanwhile firefighters had set up a massive air cushion below and the woman landed safely, escaping uninjured.
It is unclear whether the woman has intended to reach the pillow or if she had launched a genuine attempt on her life.
The air cushion measures roughly 6 metres by 7.5 metres and 2.75 metres high, and is capable of absorbing the shock of a body falling from 10 floors.
From June 2005 to May 2012 an average of 17 emergency incidents a month across China required cushions, which can be inflated in a minute.
