SCMP: Chinese military officer saves rookie’s life after he drops grenade
A veteran military officer saved a raw recruit’s life in China after he dropped a live grenade in a training exercise.
Video footage taken at the PLA air force aviation school in Xian, Shaanxi province, shows the recruit, Zhang Wu handling a live grenade, but then let it slip through his fingers rather than throwing it.
Zhang was nervous during the drill and his hands were sweating, according to a report in the PLA Daily.
Zhang was unaware after dropping it that the grenade had bounced off a rampart and fallen into the fortifications.

One of my old bosses told me a similar story when he was drafted for Vietnam...he said during training, the southerners couldn't throw a grenade to save their lives!
