Drunk Chinese man kicks elevator doors in and falls down its shaft
What was supposed to be a fun karaoke night out turned into a harrowing tumble for a 24-year-old man from Hangzhou, China, when he accidentally fell down an elevator shaft after kicking its doors in.
Identified only as Yang, the inebriated man was caught on security cam footage getting into a tussle with a friend outside of a KTV lounge before launching into an airborne flying kick towards the elevator's metal doors. As a result, one of the doors broke off its hinge and came loose, reported Sina.

While turning back to survey the damage he had caused, Yang took a step forward and to the horror of onlookers, fell through the broken door and down the elevator shaft. Four floors down to be exact.

Following the incident, staff from the KTV lounge immediately called the police and Yang was rushed to a nearby hospital. Fortunately for Yang, he survived the fall and is now recovering from a broken left leg.
Chinese reports quoted Yang's uncle, who said he works at a local restaurant and had patronised the KTV lounge with his colleagues after work to celebrate the Lunar New Year.
