This is the alarming moment a pensioner falls onto a car from a sixth-floor apartment before walking away unharmed.

CCTV footage captures the 80-year-old woman hurtling into view, slamming into the vehicle’s roof as it crumples upon impact.

The hardy octogenarian, from Yekaterinburg, Russia, had reportedly been cleaning her windows before the terrifying plunge.

Miraculously, she survived the crash-landing and could be seen rolling off the car, brushing herself off, and returning to business as usual.

It is thought that the woman’s life was saved by the parked vehicle, which cushioned her fall.

She was reportedly admitted to a local hospital as a precaution but is not believed to have been injured.

A video of the close-call has gone viral, with viewers noting the pensioner’s incredible luck.

One wrote: ‘She landed so perfectly, like a wrestler or a stunt person.’

Another added: ‘Not only was she lucky to “fall right”, but had she been any further toward the building, the back of her head would likely hit the frame supporting the truck – almost certainly fatal.

‘Similarly, had she or the car been shifted a foot (or possible less) either left or right, she would have landed again on the frame, which would also have been fatal, or at least, she would have sustained far far worse injuries. 

‘She landed SQUARE in the middle of the roof, allowing it to crumple, and not her.’ 

Russian media outlet E1.RU reported the woman fell from her sixth-floor apartment due to her own negligence, and police confirmed there was no sign of foul play.

The car’s owner told local reporters: ‘I saw her lying in my car through the window. They said she was a neighbour from the sixth floor.’

Shortly after the incident a police spokesperson said: ‘During the investigation, it was preliminarily established that the elderly woman fell from the window due to carelessness.

‘The victim was hospitalized in a medical centre and is receiving necessary assistance. The police are still investigating the case.’
