Most of us get too preoccupied with our gadgets that we forget to be aware of everything surrounding us.

According to some witnesses, the little boy was playing on the sidewalk while his mom was too busy on her mobile phone. The SUV struck the boy and left a bloody horror right in front of the mother's eyes.

Child Dies After Being Hit by a Vehicle While Her Mother is Preoccupied With Her Mobile Phone!
Life's misfortunes can sometimes get the best of us, and certainly it can be a total bummer. Well this kid surely isn't too happy after he accidentally tripped and punched a hole at a T$50 million ($1.54 million) artwork masterpiece with his iron fist. Forget that, he just accidentally drilled a hole in the artwork by accident.
17th century Italian master artist Paolo Porpora, showcased his artwork in part of a Taipei exhibit displaying influenced works by Leonardo da Vinci, according to the main organizer David Sun. The incident was caught on camera as the boy proceeds to view the artwork in the exhibition and suddenly trips over the painting, using his fist as leverage to keep him from falling. What's funny is he punched the painting by accident.
"It was such an unusual accident," Sun said. "The boy was listening to the guide and wasn't looking where he was going and tripped and smashed a hole in the artwork."

The family and the boy has expressed sincere apology and regret for the incident, and luckily they will not pay for anything and will be free of any punishment. The good thing is the artwork was repaired immediately, according to David. "We had an Italian appraiser on hand and immediately contacted the collector. We decided to repair the painting immediately on site and it's back on display already."

After the recent news of a Filipino tourist who perished in the unforgiving waters of Coron, Palawan about a week ago, it has drawn ire and dispute on social media. The cause of Miguel Ruiz's death is yet to be clarified, as experts are still investigating to find out what exactly caused his unfortunate death last August 14. Previous reports claim that he stepped on a poisonous stonefish that, but experts still remain skeptical that it is indeed the cause of death.Travis Navarro Millard, the alleged American boyfriend of Miguel, he took to Facebook to show the photos of Miguel's punctured left foot. He said: "I've been very bothered by the different stories concerning the cause of his death," his post stated. "He did not drown, he did not step on a stonefish." The hospital claims that he died from drowning, adding to the confusion of what really happened to Miguel.
Travis further noted that "The attached photo is exactly what Miguel's foot looked like when he was observed at Coron District Hospital. They dismissed the puncture wounds and didn't offer me any type of explanation."
He asked for additional information regarding his boyfriend's situation, and the doctors concluded that a sea urchin was the suspect of claiming Miguel's life. Doctors said: "After a thorough search search and discussion with several marine and medical professionals, it is our best conclusion that he stepped on a sea urchin, not a stonefish." Adding the storyline of the tragic incident of former TV personality and former football player Bob Wilson's son similarly experienced.
While doctor have their own say regarding the cause of death, Travis still remains skeptical about the results and is waiting for the official reports from the autopsy conducted in Manila to exactly pinpoint what caused Miguel's fatality.
"We are still waiting the official autopsy results for the detailed toxicology report," he said. "However, it is important for me to clear the air about the stonefish and other suggested cause of death", Travis added.
After blaming the tourism and health personnel in Coron, Palawan for their lack of training and proper medical awareness, Travis and Miguel's family are planning to press charges against the authorities in the municipality. Our thoughts and prayers to their family, hoping for the very best in their current situation. What do you guys think of the incident? Let us know in the comments section below!

Customer Uses His Phone While On a Gas Station. What Happens Next Will Definitely Shock You
The excitement and the thrill from just walking through the entrance of amusement parks is enough to give kids that exhilaration they're anticipating on amusement park rides. Even adults are thrill-seekers that they feel the excitement in the air as screams of joy and shrieks can be heard from the amusement park.
One of the most popular and extreme rides well known by many people is the Slingshot. Mt. Olympus Theme Park & Water Park in Wisconsin Dells is home to this famous ride, as 13-year old Trevor Larson and family friend Carrie Sueker is excited to experience a ride of their lives. When suddenly, the unfortunate occurred.
As they are being strapped into place on the catapult, the Slingshot cable all of a sudden just snapped, and was tossed to the ground. Fortunately the cable strap snapped before they were launched into the air. A man said in the background that he noticed something wrong with the cables. And he uttered in a low voice "I'll pray for you. the ropes are looking a little frayed."
Luckily no one was harmed in the process, as the accident was avoided. In the meantime, the theme park closed the ride to make faulty repairs and investigating the cause of the incident.
Theme park owner Nick Laskaris told WISN that this type of incident has never even happened once at the park. He said "It's unfortunate. Mechanical failures unfortunately do happen."

Customers should be the priority of safety and health. However, these incidents unfortunately happen once in a while, but surely it's the fault of the theme park for not checking properly their equipment. Hopefully incidents like these should be avoided in the near future and provide a more enjoyable, safe, and thrilling experience for the customers on theme parks. Check out the nerve-wracking video below caught by his very own father.
