A glass door collapsed onto a woman when she tried to open it in at the hall of a residential community in China.

CCTV video, filmed in Ganzhou City in southeastern Jiangxi Province on January 12, shows an over two-metre-tall glass door suddenly falling down onto a woman trying to pull it to open.

Since the glass door landed on the corner of a nearby sofa it prevented the full weight of the glass and metal door from crushing the woman.

She did not suffer any fractures but did receive several injuries to her body.

According to the property management, the incident may be caused by loose components on the door hinges.
