A dramatic video from China from the Newsflare archive of a new army recruit being saved by his instructor after accidentally dropping a live grenade during training.

In the footage, filmed in Guangdong Province in 2015, the young soldier can be seen trying to throw the grenade forward and failing. The grenade hits the floor next to them both and the instructor, with lightning reflexes, pulls the pair into a trench before it explodes.

According to local reports, the young man had only recently signed up with the army and this was his first experience with a grenade. The pair escaped with scratches but no serious injury.
