Cringe-worthy x-ray of builder's body impaled on scaffolding... and he's still ALIVE
THIS is the dramatic X-ray of a builder who skewered himself on a metal bar.
The pole went all the way through his body – but he luckily lived to tell the tale.
The construction worker, from Hefei in Anhui Province, China, tripped and fell from a 2m high scaffolding platform where he was working.
The unnamed man landed bottom-first on the bar, which impaled him right through to his chest.
The worker's quick-thinking colleagues sawed the bar loose from the ground and he was rushed to hospital.
Doctors were then able to surgically remove the bar.
The man is now said to be out of danger.
