Watch out for falling babies

While Joseph Figlock was walking down the street, minding his own business, he twice had a baby fall from an overhead window onto his head. It first happened in 1937, and then again in 1938.

Bad luck for him, but good luck for the kids who landed on him.

Reminded me of this... There is an odd illustration of a baby falling on a man's head in Jack Dempsey's book, "Championship Fighting". I guess it was a thing back then.

Don’t you hate it when this happens?
