A video of a Chinese man who kicked an elevator door and fell inside had gone viral. The 24-year-old man suffered no life-threatening injuries, but had a fractured leg.
The man, identified as Yang, was drunk and came from a fight at a KTV hall in Hangzhou City, Zhejiang Province when the incident happened. The door of the elevator that he kicked was on the fourth floor and he fell down to the first floor.
The elevator door's hinge broke after the powerful kick of the Chinese man and loosened. However, since the elevator was not on the fourth floor, Yang fell into the shaft, reported Mashable. The staff of the KTV lounge, where the elevator was located, called the police who rushed the drunken and injured man to the hospital.
According to Yang’s uncle, the man with the powerful flying kick is an employee of a local restaurant who had a good time at the KTV bar with co-employees after their shift to celebrate Chinese Lunar New Year.
It seems that all the martial arts films that Chinese men viewed since they were young boys influence their behavior in adulthood, particularly the use of the flying kick.
Days before the Yang injured himself, three Chinese men from Haidong, Qinghai Province, on a drunken night, banged on the elevator’s door while inside the lift which cause it to stop operations abruptly. However, they managed to pry the elevator door open and step out of their trap through an open cavity, reported 9 News.
