The boy then starts opening the drawers from the top and works his way down.

When he opens all four drawers, he leans on the second one from the top to pull himself back up and that's when the near-tragedy strikes.

The drawers begin toppling over as the boy continues to hold onto them.

He manages to fall back just far enough for the drawers not to hit him.

The boy doesn't appear to have suffered any injuries and is checked by a woman within seconds of the drawers falling.
