In a very memorable incident, a man at an official ceremony in Chengdu, Sichuan Province, was the one to draw attention when he ran straight into an invisible glass door, sending the audience in laughter and shock. This incident occurred on March 1, 2019. It was caught on camera and quickly spread across the social media.
The Accidental Collision
It was intended that the event, by the Chengdu Municipal Bureau of Planning and Natural Resources, highlighted the successes of the community. However, things became pretty ironic when the man seemed oblivious to the transparent glass door in front of him. The man dashed straight at full speed, shattering the door upon impact and the man sprawled out on the floor as the speech of the host hosting the event.

The hilarious video that caught the viral incident immediately gained millions of views on social media platforms like Instagram. Netizens stormed to comment in a light-hearted manner. One wrote, “quite an entrance,” while the other said “well, that’s called timing.” Many joked about the awkwardness of this situation, with one user commenting, “Imagine awkwardly getting up, dusting yourself down and walking off after that.”
Some added witty commentary such as, “Dude just got docked 1000 social credits” and “And that’s the last time he was ever seen.” The viral sensation engulfed social media, as the fans enjoyed the humour with the mishap of the man.
Event Organisers Respond Quickly
Although the affair was a bit embarrassing, events organisers managed the situation by restoring an atmosphere that carried on with the functions. The glass door was exchanged with a newly broken piece, and so the event continued without this interruption.
In spite of all the commotion, the man’s grit and humour made it a light moment, reminding everyone that sometimes things do not go as expected, but the ability to laugh at oneself can turn mishap into joy for all.
