Amazing escape captured on camera
92 years old Yantai grandmother in China climbed the metal gate of the nursing home like a professional climbing. The whole action lasted only 24 seconds – it nimblely entered, moved her legs and jumped unscathed.
The staff responded quickly: they sent four vehicles and found her after 25 minutes near the facility. The woman returned safely, but the incident shook the net.

Similar incidents of senior escapes from nursing homes occur in Poland, although rarely with happy end as in Chinese viral. The most common concern is people with dementia or mental disorders, ending with intense police searches. Here are some noisy cases in recent years:
- In January 2026, an 83-year-old resident from DPS in Włocławek left unnoticed in her nightgown during the frost. She was found dead at the gate after four hours – the investigation investigates manslaughter.
- In 2020, a 74-year-old escaped from DPS in Nadwieprańska St.; despite action with a drone and helicopter, he was found dead in the woods. He had a history of escape due to mental disorders.
- In September 2025 the senior came out of a nursing home in Radzymin at night. The police put all the servants with the tracking dog and the drone on their feet – it was found in the neighboring district unharmed.
- In November 2025, a 78-year-old man left his residence in Ustroń late at night. Cops found him after four hours, no life-threatening.
