Afraid of heights? Eh… you might not want to look at the above video. A 97-year-old grandmother from the Ukraine has been dubbed the “luckiest woman in the world” after she narrowly escaped death when she accidentally fell out of a fourth floor window.

The Huffington Post reports that the grandmother, who lives in the Rivne region of the Ukraine, was saved from a terrifying end when her leg got stuck in an air-conditioning bracket on the wall of her apartment building.

According to reports, the woman was dangling from the unit yelling for help for at least 30minutes before some firemen arrived to help her.

The woman was taken to hospital as soon as the firemen got her down and though she was suffering from shock, she was unharmed.

“97 and still cleaning windows, thinking and acting fast enough to grab the A/C? I wanna age like that,” said one commentor after reading the woman’s story online.
