  1. Gageima says:

    BOOM

  2. Don’t throw grenades if you live in a.. wait, what? O.o

  3. jam says:

    He made a bang up job of that!

  4. damnedgamer says:

    this was a boomerang grenade he threw it 1cm away and it came back 5cm

  5. Avis says:

    Any time the words, Grenade, Throw, and Fail are used in the same sentence, it can’t end well.

  6. John says:

    The other guy dragged him to saftey after he threw the gernade…. so he did not die.

    • aphexZero says:

      looks like a smoke, so nobody would have died…
      She could have died of a stroke though!

      • sewalk says:

        Most definitely NOT a smoke grenade. Trust me, I’ve actually used both kinds. Same thing happens every once in a while at US Army and USMC training centers. That’s why recruits throw their first live grenades from inside a bunker like that. Stepping into the box for the first time and seeing all the pock-marks on the walls makes a hell of an impression.

        • aphexZero says:

          Wow, okay…
          But why the hell does this happen?
          There shouldn’t be anything on his equipment to allow this, like his clothes or whatever…

        • datarat says:

          Apparently this is neither new nor uncommon. My father told me a story exactly like this from 1944. Shook everybody up when they heard the grenade go off IN the bunker.

    • dp says:

      she did not died?

  7. Zoolapalooza says:

    Boom Boom Boom Boom

  8.                      (colorless green idea) says:

    – Once the number three, being the third number, be reached, then lobbest thou thy Holy Hand Grenade.
    – Right! One… two… five!
    – YOU FORGOT SAFETY THIRD!!!!

  9. bob says:

    GRENAAAADE!

  10. dp says:

    he did it on purpose. it’s an advanced move.

  11. Dragonfang says:

    Those goofy, prank loving asian soldiers! To them, humor comes first, duty comes second, survival comes third, and schooling comes fifth.

  12. boob says:

    I was wondering when this was going to show up on the ole Failblog…

  13. Matt says:

    reminds me of this old chestnut

  14. SeismicMike says:

    Sgt: That was the worst throw ever….. of all time.
    Private: Not my fault! Someone put a wall in my way!!!

  15. Daniel says:

    This is exactly why they train on this. You can be amazed by how many people with the dummy grenade tend to pull the pin, throw the pin, then keep the grenade in hand.

    • Mike says:

      Yep, I went through that crap. It’s amazing how people get a dangerous explosive device in their hands and suddenly they forget basic motor function. Grenade training horror stories abound in the army, both true and not so true. Remember, PICTURES OR IT DIDN’T HAPPEN!!!

    • Jan says:

      As long as they don’t let go of the lever and the grenade, that’s not a big problem. The lever separating from the grenade arms it, not the pin. The pin just secures the lever. One can still regroup and throw the grenade anyway if the lever was not released when pulling out the pin.

      This guy didn’t manage to get the grenade out of the grenade throwing bunker. So the range officer (the guy standing next to the thrower) and his assistant (the guy near the exit), got him out, then shielded themselves from the blast. That’s why the structure is designed the way it is. We’re seing a mishap at a grenade range handled very well. Nothing “fail” about it.

  16. Fawfulster says:

    What’s the music called?

  17. Admiral Apparent says:

    Some people can’t throw anything away.

  18. Avis says:

    Sorry for all the avatar changes, but I think I found the right one for me! It’s ORANGE!!!

  19. Fawfulster says:

    What’s the name of the song?

  20. Mike Hunt says:

    LOL North Korean army = FAIL

    The rockets they build are also mended together by duct tape and super glue! lol

  21. Ms B ♥ says:

    He can hit the side of a barn!!!

  22. SpudmanWP says:

    Been there, done that…

    Well, not THAT!

    I still remember the pitting from fragments on the INSIDE of our grenade pit.

    • Mike says:

      lol I remember that too. Ft. Knox grenade range :D Those who were waiting to throw were standing behind a 1ft concrete wall with 6″x6″ plexiglass windows, and we could hear the fragments hitting the other side from grenades 200 meters away

  23. Frykh says:

    Picked for softball?
    The only thing this guy is picked is UP, in pieces…
    (knowing of course that he did survive (at least the grenade))

  24. Sheik says:

    Team killer always the idiot with the granade

  25. jeepis says:

    And that is why you NEVER throw a granade one minute past 13:37.

  26. faze says:

    It seems Americas training suicide bombers too

  27. Cameron Winter says:

    Its a live re-enactment of Red VS Blue

    Washington: Caboose, throw the grenade

    *Caboose throws sticky grendade right into the wall they are hiding behind*

    Washington: That… was the worst throw, ever… of all time

    Caboose: Not my fault, someone put a wall in my way

  28. Pontus says:

    So me in bad company 2..

  29. boiled says:

    ach was, das war absicht – der wollte seinen ausbilder auch mal schwitzen sehen XD

  30. FailedFailer says:

    FIRE IN THE FAIL!!!!!!!!!!!!

  31. FailedFailer says:

    FIRE IN THE FAIL!!!!!!!!!!!

  32. SoulWings says:

    He was probably throwing a bomb at Chuck Norris.

  33. Blade says:

    No annoying Failbooking.com ad at the end of the video? Hooray!!!!!

  34. Gonzo says:

    I am extremely terrified of Chinese people.

    It’s not so bad to be racist if it is for Chinese and Koreans, North of course.

  35. Fred says:

    did he die? =o

  36. PsychoDad says:

    Can’t tell you many times I’ve done that myself . . .

    . . . down in Black Mesa.

  37. Marilyn says:

    BWAHAHAHA

    This happened to my dad in Vietnam. He threw a grenade and it bounced off a tree back to the log his squad had been hiding out behind. Everyone had to bail out. No one was hurt but they wouldn’t let him near the grenades after that.

  38. DavidB says:

    I didn’t pick this video for any reason other than to ask “What the F**k is going on?” After watching a 30 – 45 sec funny clip, we have to sit through 55 secs of a commercial. We can’t ff or even mute the damn things. How soon before that’s all the web is – Ads?

  39. blondoO says:

    run forest run :) )

  40. Someone says:

    The best way to get dismissed from the army.

  41. Ryno says:

    He really Kevin Gregg’d that.

  42. sunglasses says:

    What a big fail!!!!
    How could that happend?

  43. Darrell says:

    > Editor’s Note: No one was hurt in this incident.

    Oh, I don’t know. I’ll wager the tosser got the shit kicked out of him by his mates.

  44. jesse says:

    drop the pin throw the grenade, drop the pin throw the grenade. *drops grenade throws pin. DOH!!!!!

  45. Crazyeneb says:

    That is too good, how u can manage this……o idea! grease on the greanade? jeez
    LOL @jesse

  46. amsti says:

    We had a similar accident, when i was in military. Its no problem, just run about 5 metres (or behind a wall, like in this video) and then lie flat on the ground and you ll survive.

  47. Heio Popeio says:

    Is the grenade died?

  48. Jake says:

    He died, HOORAY!

  49. Hakar says:

    This happens to me all the time in XCOM.

  50. Maulrus says:

    I wonder if there’s a site devoted to grenade fumbling…..

  51. Responder says:

    “Grenade Out!!…..er, I mean IN….SH*T!!!!!”

  52. luul says:

    did he die?!

  53. Amanoo says:

    Why did he fall?

  54. Bigs says:

    I guess this is why Taiwan is still independent.

  55. trollface says:

    Did he died?
    I mean, really… did he? 0.o

  56. lolfailure says:

    gotta be the french….

  57. Leroy says:

    look at time: 13:38 … sry but after 1337 comes the fail!

  58. Nero says:

    -That was the worst throw ever…of all time!
    -Not my fault…someone put a wall in my way

  59. magnusnn nn says:

    not a l33t guy.. the clock was 1338, bummer!

  60. Patrickov says:

    That’s what I call “Liberation”…

    And no doubt they are stupid, because according to news, they are going to station in Hong Kong, which obviously does NOT need to be protected anyways.

  61. usarmysarge says:

    im surprised I didnt do that during my bout at basic training…

    That wall is alot higher than the American wall though.

  62. KayK says:

    can i post this vid on my website?

  63. Harry Q. Hammer says:

    Another Darwin Award foiled!

  64. zack says:

    Sigh, that’s why American ground forces are superior to those idiots

    when I was in the marines, we wore helmets and had practice throwing with dummy nades,, I think the Chinese practiced with live nade right off the bat with no helmets Good thing that DI is quick… Christ.

  65. Random guy says:

    i am only one notising that the time is 13.38

  66. ZeeZ says:

    The comments are way more funnier than the videos.. LOL!

  67. Black Ice says:

    Suddenly, I’m thinking of Hetalia. If only they were Italian soldiers…

  68. IEat says:

    How to use a grenade
    1.Pull pin
    2.Throw
    How to fail
    1.Pull pin

  69. Scott A says:

    This happens occasionally with new recruits. A friend of mine that just retired from the Marine Corps had to do exactly what that instructor just did at least once. What the video doesn’t show is the beating that usually follows this sort of thing.

  70. william says:

    haha chinese…… so stupid….. this is a Chinese news channel…. im glad that’s not Taiwan XD

  71. general kool says:

    nice throw sargent pea brain

  72. Anonymous says:

    This is from a movie, I’m in the army now, 1994.

    Sgt. Ladd: This is exactly like practice, except this is a real live grenade. You will do exactly as you have been trained.
    Bones: Yes, Drill Seargent!
    Sgt. Ladd: When I give the command to execute, you will drop the pin and throw the grenade.
    Bones: Yes, Drill Seargent!
    Sgt. Ladd: Drop the pin, throw the grenade!
    Bones: Yes, Drill Seargent!
    Sgt. Ladd: Execute.
    Bones: [Drops grenade and throws pin]
    Sgt. Ladd: Move it!
    Bones: Thank you, Drill Seargent, you saved my life. I owe you one.
    Sgt. Ladd: No, you owe me fifty!

    Ooh, another few quotes are, and lots of these arre fails:

    Bones: Oh yeah, “Its not a job, it’s an adventure.”
    Richard Day, Recruiting Sergeant: No, that’s the Navy.
    Bones: “The few and the proud?”
    Richard Day, Recruiting Sergeant: No, that’s the Marines.
    Bones: “Keep going, going and gone?”
    Jack: No, that’s the Energizer Bunny.

    Bones: Where did the sun go?
    Jack: There is no sun anymore. We died, and this is hell.
    Bones: Oh, ok. Thanks for clearing that up.

    [Bones is mishandling a bazooka]
    Sgt. Ladd: See the picture on the front of this weapon? It’s put there for privates like you… It’s idiot-proof.

    They really should hiave something on the bazokka that says “Danger, point AWAY from face,”, and of course, Bones would still fail
