This is the hair-raising moment a Chinese soldier almost killed himself after fluffing hand grenade practice.
Footage of the army training exercise shows the soldier preparing the hand grenade to throw it under the watchful eye of his drill sergeant.
However, the new recruit fails miserably and throws it into a wall in front of him and it promptly bounces off and falls into the ditch where he's standing.
