Keith Wyman says his family was in their backyard on Monday when his 2-year-old son Cody began to climb the gate blocking the ladder to their above-ground pool.
The Wymans grabbed Cody before he got into the pool, but not before capturing it on camera to show other parents how easily kids could climb over.
The video has since been viewed more than 21 million times on Facebook.
The Wymans say the store where they bought the ladder and gate offered them a replacement, but all the other gates had a similar design.
a backyard pool is nice but its also A DISASTER WAITING TO HAPPEN even parents that are careful cannot be perfect 100% of the time
If you have a pool, you must install an automatic pool cover or safety net. Even if you have a fence, locked door, cameras, alarms, kids can & will always find a way around them – even unintentionally. It is sakonos nafoshos not to have a pool cover.
