During a tour of a cave in the Guizhou province of China, one tourist decided to leave his group in search of a souvenir. Attempting to break apart a 50cm stalagmite with three swift kicks, the man was only able to break off a 30cm tip. Similar incidents have also been reported in the Shandong and Liaoning providences.
