A fresh army recruit in China’s Guangdong province was saved by his instructor after accidentally dropping a live grenade during training.
The young soldier can be seen trying to throw the grenade forward and failing. The grenade hits the ground next to them both and the instructor, with lightning reflexes and good presence of mind, pulls the pair into a trench before it explodes.
Watch the dramatic footage of the incident below:
