Falling furniture can not only strike a child but can trap and crush them underneath, causing the child to suffocate. 

Homesafe Kids advises parents to always be aware that furniture or ornaments with unstable bases can be easily pulled over if not properly secured.

It explained toddlers at some stage of their development will want to climb which can make shelving particularly hazardous.

If shelving is not stable, parents are advised to consider bracketing it to the wall and to make sure any items such as favourite toys aren't on top of furniture that could encourage children to climb up and reach for them.
The danger in the video is a tall, heavy chest of drawers tipping over in a home. There is no safety equipment being used, and no professional is present. A young child attempts to climb the drawers, causing them to fall forward, but the aftermath is not shown. It is likely the child would have been seriously injured or even killed if they had been under the drawers when they fell, and it is possible they still sustained injuries from the fall. The environment is a family living room, and there are no visible warning signs about the instability of the furniture.
