The Chinese military have something of a history of endangering themselves when it comes to training exercises and a female soldier in their ranks was at it again recently.
We’re no experts or anything but we imagine that the first rule when it comes to handling a hand grenade is to pull the pin out and throw the fu**er as far away as possible, or at least far enough away that it will pose no threat to your own health.
A female soldier in the Chinese army didn’t take that into account during a training exercise recently when she tossed a grenade pretty casually in front of her and had to dive for cover along with two colleagues as it rebounded off a mound in front of her and into the pit where all three were situated.
Thankfully disaster was averted and nobody was hurt, and if the soldier in question was feeling a little bit mortified about what she had done, she could at least take some consolation in the fact that she is not the first member of the Chinese army who has been a little careless with a hand grenade.
