Can you fall 80 feet and live?

According to an article on www.wusa9.com that is titled "Boy falls 80 feet, lives" informs us that on Thursday in Takoma Park, Md around 3:15 pm a 4-year-old boy fell 80 feet from an apartment window on the 8800 block of Piney Branch Road.
9News' Ken Molestina has reported that a branch is what possibly saved a deathly fall from a 9th floor apartment window. It is still unknown of the fact if the child was home alone when he fell.
The 4-year-old boy was rushed to Children's Hospital, according to Montgomery Police Department, that the young child was in serious condition. Police say that detectives from Family Crimes Division and Child Protective Services are investigating the fall and are looking into the fact whether the 4-year-old was alone at the time of the fall or not.
What kind of parent leaves their child unattended like this? I have never left my child alone. People like this should not be allowed to raise children. Im glad to know this boy gets a second chance at life not thanks to his parents. I hope and pray that the police discover the reason the child fell and arrest the parents for child endangerment.
My guess on the parents is that they probably fell asleep while the child was left unatended, and in result the child tumbled out the window. Thank goodness for the tree branch that broke his fall.
