When people go out to eat, they usually wish to enjoy themselves, the company of their friends alongside good food and drinks. However, nobody would think of witnessing or undergoing a life threatening incident in such a happy surrounding. However, in a shocking incident, a 45 kilogram heavy glass door detached from its frame and nearly hit customers eating at a restaurant in China's Zhengshou on April 12.
As per the video released by Viral Press, which depicts the CCTV footage from the eatery, groups of people are seen talking, eating and drinking outdoors at a restaurant. A few seconds later, a thick, 45 kg (100 pound) heavy glass door is seen falling after it gets detached from its frame. The door comes toppling onto a table of four and almost hits a diner's head. The thud shocks everyone at the restaurant and people can be heard shouting in the background.
Fortunately, the door hit the person's right arm and eventually bounced to his shoulder, saving him from any serious head injury. Further in the short CCTV footage, the restaurant owner, Li, is seen jumping to the scene and grabbing the glass door to pull it away from the table. Mr Li then holds the door and slides it back into the building.
As per the restaurant owner, the glass door had not been fixed properly when it was installed and therefore caused the accident.
