A rookie at a Chinese navy recruit training base did not have much luck when throwing his first hand grenade. On the 28th of November, the navy captain prepared the hand grenade drill as usually. When one of the new recruits attempted to throw the grenade away, it slipped from his hand and landed right beside him and his colleague. Because of the recruits’ speedy reaction, nobody was harmed. Watch the video below to see the footage (topic and video via Sina Weibo).
