A worker emerged unscathed after the scaffold he was standing on collapsed and landed on a car in central China.

Video filmed in Jingzhou City in Hubei Province on July 10 shows the scaffolding being supported by two men suddenly leaning over and collapsing onto a nearby car.

The scaffolder falling several metres lands on the car, rolls off and remarkably lands on his feet upright.

Although the car was damaged, the worker was not injured.

The case is under investigation.
