SEOUL -- A safety net has saved the life of a worker when he accidentally fell from the 27th floor of an apartment building construction site in southern Seoul.
The worker lost his balance while working on a window frame and plunged on Monday. Luckily, he fell onto a net installed on the sixth floor and was rescued about 20 minutes later, according to a district fire station. He was taken to a nearby hospital for head injuries but he was not in a critical condition.
In March, four workers died when a working cage fell to the ground from the 55th floor of a 101-story seaside tower which was under construction in the southern port city of Busan.
