Man falls into pit while playing game on his phone then continues the game inside the pit

A Chinese man was so obsessed with his phone that he fell into a pit and injured himself while using it, but even at that, he still refused to put it down and continued playing on the phone as he waited for help.



Rescuers who arrived at the scene to help the man out of the 13ft deep hole were stunned to find the man still playing on his phone even though he was in extreme pain after suffering a fractured kneecap.



The incident took place in Karamay in western China's Xinjiang Province. The man, said to be a construction worker, fell to the bottom of the manhole after failing to notice that it wasn't covered. He was looking at his phone at the time, reported Kan Kan News.







The report said when firefighters arrived, they saw that the man was still playing games on his handset while sitting at the bottom of the hole. It is said the man was whining in pain while staring at his screen.

Firefighters attached straps around the man before pulling him out of the hole using a rescue tripod. The man was taken to the hospital afterwards and is reported to be recovering.
