A 38-year-old construction worker named Lin Jun was impaled on five steel bars after he fell from the fifth floor to the third floor of a construction site in the city of Suining in southwestern China's Sichuan province on July 6.

After surgery, he was listed as being in critical condition in an intensive care unit at the Hedong Hospital affiliated to Zhongxin Hospital in Suining. 

Lin went to work on the fifth floor as usual on the morning of July 6. His fall occurred shortly after starting work that day. After the accident, several workers immediately rushed down to the third floor and found Lin with five steel bars piercing his body.

The workers called the fire department for help. The firefighters brought Lin to Hedong Hospital. After a six-hour operation, all five of the steel bars were removed from Lin's body. Fortunately, none of the bars pierced his internal organs.
