On September 8, 2020, Mr. Zhang was injured after his shower room glass exploded and it was in Ranked No. 1 in Chinese Weibo Search. Let’s have a look at the details. 

In a video report Monday by the Zhejiang-based news program “1818 Huangjinyan,” Mr. Zhang, a resident of the eastern Chinese city of Ningbo, can be seen with bandages on his arms as he tells the camera how he suffered bodily harm at the hands of his shower door, and how the property management company had refused to pay him the compensation he sought. 

For Mr. Zhang, the past month has had its ups and downs. On Sept. 8, his glass shower door shattered just after he had finished bathing, leaving him with two cut-up arms and 8,000 yuan ($1,200) in medical bills. Hoping to hold the property management company of his rental apartment responsible, he contacted local media.

Zhang said that he hadn’t touched the doorknob at the time, and the glass door suddenly broke. He believed that the property owner was responsible, and that he needed a lot of follow-up treatment costs and hoped that the apartment property could afford it. However, the property owner believes that it is the responsibility of the glass manufacturer. The matter has not been resolved at present, Mr. Zhang said that he might take legal means to solve the problem.

Due to the spontaneous explosion of tempered glass is its inherent characteristic, theoretically, this possibility cannot be ruled out. Even if we are using of high-quality tempered glass, the harm to the human body is limited to very light damage to the skin surface, but it is still recommended that users choose explosion-proof membranes, together with high-quality hardware accessories could reduce the harm to Zero.
