This is the hair-raising moment a Chinese soldier almost killed himself after fluffing hand grenade practice.

Footage of the army training exercise shows the soldier preparing the hand grenade to throw it under the watchful eye of his drill sergeant.

However, the new recruit fails miserably and throws it into a wall in front of him and it promptly bounces off and falls into the ditch where he's standing.

Realising his mistake he hits the ground and covers his head with his hands just feet away from from the explosive.

Luckily for him, his quick thinking captain drags him to safety with just seconds to spare.

Within three seconds, the grenade goes off with a huge explosion throwing dirt and smoke into the air.

The mistake, which could have proved fatal, was filmed in China and posted on You Tube.

It has received almost 200,00 hits and was covered by TV stations in the country.

Fortunately, no one was injured during the botched training exercise.
