Spain's CIAIAC released their report in their bulletin 02/2012, pages 67 and following, reporting that a father holding his little daughter, both hands full with passports, was boarding the aircraft when the girl fell through the gap between the handrail and the platform of the stairs. The girl received fractures of the ulna and radius of the left forearm.

The CIAIAC analysed that although the extendable handrails protect sufficiently against the falls of adults, the gap between the handrail and the platform represents a danger for small children to fall through the gap.

The CIAIAC reiterated safety recommendations released by the AAIB in August 2010, see Report: Ryanair B738 at London on Jul 17th 2009, child fell from air stair.
