DON’T TRY THIS one at home, kids.

In this blood pressure-raising video, Chinese soldiers in the People’s Liberation Army of China pass around a live grenade as part of a military training exercise.

Each soldier holds the grenade in his hand for a moment before passing it on to the next.

The final soldier throws it into a hole in the ground and the soldiers fling themselves to the ground as it explodes. Yikes.
