THIS is the terrifying moment a toddler risked certain death by walking along the fifth floor ledge of an apartment.

Video shows the girl walking on the corner of the family’s holiday flat in Playa Paraíso, in Adeje, Tenerife while her mum was reportedly in the shower.

After climbing out of a window and walking along the ledge, the child reaches a railing around a balcony and sits down on it.

But rather than climbing over the balcony to safety, the toddler starts to go back the way she came.

The child jumps as she appears to lose her footing and races back along the ridge, before stopping at the window where the footage ends.

The child’s family were reportedly holidaymakers from Finland but it is not known if they have since flown home.

According to local Antena3 the girl’s mum was thought to have been in the shower when the child walked out onto the ledge.

The management of the building have sent a safety report to the town hall in response to the incident.

One neighbour told said they were surprised "something worse has not happened" while another said "luckily no wind was blowing".
