A video of a child falling out of a moving car in Kerala has gone viral after an IPS officer tweeted it. Police officer Pankaj Nain tweeted the video to highlight the importance of child locks and car seats. The CCTV footage from north Kerala shows the door of a moving car open when it takes a turn, and a child falls from the vehicle on the road. Other vehicles on the road come to a halt and a mishap is avoided. The driver of the car also stops and walks back to take the child. According to local reports, the accident took place in the last week of December in Kottakkal in Malappuram and the child did not suffer any serious injuries. Child lock and child seats are very important when travelling with childrens. Check all doors are closed properly, and child lock is on. Always make sit children in a child restraint seat. All kids wont be as lucky as this one. #Staysafe #Roadsafety pic.twitter.com/qfnf1rMrox — Pankaj Nain IPS (@ipspankajnain) January 9, 2020 After the video was tweeted, many spoke about the importance of child locks and why children shouldn't be left alone in the back seat if they're sitting without a seatbelt.

It could have easily prevented this. — Dhamu (@dhamuven) January 9, 2020 Auto driver is hero — Anand Sagar (@Anand23532617) January 9, 2020 Also don't ride with kids in your lap in the front. In case of even a minor collision the air bags can deploy and be lethal for those kids. — Amit Mitra 🤷🏼♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️ (@amit2648) January 9, 2020 In India people don't even care to put seat belts, let alone child locks sir. — Relentless (@ZenithAmit) January 9, 2020 Extremely important video why child lock is must when you travel with kids! — ashwath (@ash7k) January 9, 2020 Always use child lock and child seat and proper belting while driving with children. — Vikas Talao (तलाव) (@vikasgahlot3) January 10, 2020
