Bubble wrap saved falling construction worker

A construction worker was saved from serious injury or worse on Monday morning when he fell 30 feet off a building, but landed on bubble wrap, a spokesman for the Boston, Massachusetts Fire Department said.

The 38-year-old worker fell from the building which is under construction with scaffolding wrapped in bubble wrap.

The man, who was not identified, suffered back and shoulder injuries and required hospital treatment.
