Worker impaled through his backside after falling onto reinforced concrete rod on Chinese building site The 26-year-old worker was nudged by bars and fell on his backside Unfortunately, he was above a metal bar, which plunged into his body Rescuers sliced the bar and it was later removed in hospital If you think you've had a bad day at work, spare a thought for a Chinese builder named only as Mr Yang. The extremely unlucky construction worker slipped and sat onto a standing bar, which penetrated his backside by a teeth-gritting 15cm as he worked on a site in Pinghu, in the city of Pinghu in eastern China's Zhejiang Province. Mr Yang was working on scaffolds on 18th floor, and when the crane lifted a load of bars to his floor, he was knocked by the swinging bars and fell backwards - straight onto a standing bar. Gruesome: Workers battle to free Mr Yang after he was impaled on the rod Help: Yang's colleagues attempt to keep the unlucky builder still Emergency workers arrived to cut the rod and were forced to leave the remaining end inside Yang to be taken out in hospital. The 26-year-old was transferred to a hospital in Shanghai, where doctors successfully removed the bar. Yang is now still under close observation. Mr Yang is not the first Chinese worker to suffer such horrific injuries this year. In April a builder survived an horrific accident which saw a foot long metal bar impaled in his head. Surgery: The rod was removed in hospital and Yang is now believed to be in a stable condition Jin Hongping was working in the city of Linxia in northwest China's Ganua province, when the 40m bar dropped from a height and went through his skull. The bar entered the back of Mr Hongping's neck and exited from the corner of his right eye. The builder was rushed to hospital where emergency staff had to call on firefighters to cut the bar. Delicate emergency surgery saw the bar removed from Mr Hongping's head and he was last reported to be in a stable condition.
