This is the moment two manhole covers explode dangerously close to a child playing with a sparkler.

Surveillance camera footage shows the boy spinning around in circles while holding the firework in his hand in the city of Yibin in Sichuan, China, at around 7:30 pm on February 24.

But just moments later he can be seen making a run for it after the two manhole covers near him suddenly burst into the air following an explosion.

One of the manhole lids then fell right in front of the child, making him slip when he stepped on it.

The second plate can be seen falling beside the utility hole, and crashing into pieces due to the impact.

Chinese media reported that the incident occurred when a spark ignited methane in the sewage system, leading to an explosion.
