Kid falls backwards too easily, shelf falls over from someone pushing on the top right corner of it off camera. If the shelf was going to fall it would have to rock backwards from the child's impact first. TV looks like one of those fake models they have at IKEA. Was pretty convincing for a second tho and the first kid does a good job selling it.

Something about that seems a bit off, might be the kid appearing to fall through the floor.

Watch the marker/pen on the table in the foreground.

I should definitely be more scared that my boyfriend keeps his lotion in a basket....

Or there's just an empty space with nothing on the bookshelf at the bottom, where he can hang out.

I can't decide whether I think it's a good trick ('cause the kid who gets demolished sort of seems to move back and down too easily), or think this is terrible 'cause a kid gets smacked hard.

Therefore, I need more comments to tell me what to think. Therefore, I will upvote to generate more visibility.

EDIT: And the bookcase doesn't move at all when the kid first knocks into it.

It is completely staged. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AEPvSo8bE2I

Second top comment gives more info. German campaign about staged internet videos or something.

While there seems to be some oddities about the bookshelf falling. If you look closely the backing is popped off by a lower shelf where the boy would be is. The shelf is sticking up 8-10 inches like it ran into something solid, like the kid. I suspect this may be real. who knows

The way the kid falls seems odd to me. He just folds his hands up and doesn't even try to brace his fall.

I can't decide if it's fake or not. In any case, love the other kid's self preservation...

I love how the kid barely bumps against the entertainment stand and then falls down like he passed out.

I swear I saw something showing this was fake and its just a viral video for some random company. Bah, wish I could find it.

I remember this. It was on the news, sadly the kid died :(

Hate to break it to you kid but FOX News doesn't tell the truth. This was staged and both the actors are fine.

someone says fake, someone says it killed the kid.
if its real, the tv fell right on him. damn you front-heavy CRT TV's!!!
if the kid didnt run he coul have balanced it back before it got too extreme of an angle. not blaming him for flight response though... so a huge TV falling 4 feet onto a child deserves the "Funny" section of reddit? stay classy.
