DD closed DS's blinds last night by sitting on the window sill. As she jumped down she lost her footing and slipped and the pulley (or whatever it's called) got stuck round her throat.
Luckily she's 10 and her weight broke the pulley but not before she was hurt. Her throat is very bruised and sore and she has lacerations where the plastic pulley scratched against her throat.
I'm still feeling sick about what might have been.
This type of pulley is no longer available apparently, because of accidents having happened in the past.
We think the blinds are about 7 years old.
