BEIJING (Reuters) - A boiler that exploded at a Chinese sauna sailed over a six-story building and landed on an old man crossing the road, Xinhua news agency said.

The 63-year-old pedestrian was killed instantly and three people injured in Sunday's bizarre accident in Baotou, Inner Mongolia, Xinhua quoted local police as saying.

"A passerby tried to escape when he saw the large object flying toward him, but he was hurt in his leg," Xinhua said. "Two workers in a restaurant next to the bathhouse were also injured after a wall of the restaurant collapsed."

The explosion of the boiler, measuring two-meters (six-and-a-half-feet) across, is under investigation.

Chinese safety

Spent 2 weeks in China this summer, looking at the construction sites of course, scary, life is cheap there. They have 20,000 construction deaths a MONTH. Their coal mines are really bad. Watched several people stick weld, none with a helmet, just squinted. The internal gas connections in apts. were rubber hose pushed onto a tapered spud, storage elect water heaters installed just above bath tubs. I'm sure they'll get safer but I wouldn't be a tradesman there now.
