A young worker at a construction site in Shenyang, Liaoning, had a miraculous escape after being skewered by a steel bar.

The incident happened on Saturday morning as the worker Zhang jumped down from a scaffolding and fell right into the upright bar that pierced through his body. Fortunately, an ambulance rushed him to hospital immediately where doctors took out the 65-centimeter long rod. He is now out of danger.
