Let’s face it, accidents happen but some are
more costly than others and as this Chinese
tourist found out they can be extremely costly
indeed.
According to reports, the woman had panic
attack and fainted after learning that the jade
bracelet she had just dropped on the floor
and smashed was worth £34,000.
Footage shows the woman left unconscious
in the arms of a family member and she was
later laid on the ground so she could recover
from the shock. It is not clear whether the piece
of jewellery was usually stored behind a display
case in the market in Ruili city, but the woman
is believed to have been trying it on when it
slipped off her wrist and cracked in two.
According to witnesses, the jade sellers refused
the family’s offer of paying £8,000 in damages
because it was not even enough for them to
break even. Instead, it is believed they settled
on £20,000
