Watch video: Man was dancing with fire crackers on his head, what happened next will shock you

New Delhi: A video circulating online serves as a stark reminder of the dangers of fireworks misuse. The clip, which has gone viral, features a man recklessly dancing with a box of firecrackers balanced precariously on his head.

The video opens with a group of men celebrating, presumably at a wedding procession. One of the men decides to take the festivities to a dangerous extreme. He lifts a box of fireworks – a box containing explosives, mind you – and places it on his head as if it were a festive hat.

Watch how the situation escalated 

For a few seconds, the man continues dancing, seemingly oblivious to the potential for disaster. Sparks erupt from the box, showering the ground in a fiery display. Despite the clear danger, the man remains undeterred, continuing his dance moves.

The situation quickly escalates. Smoke fills the air as the fireworks ignite further. The man's friends, realizing the gravity of the situation, scramble to distance themselves. It appears the man's bravado finally wanes as his hoodie catches fire. He stumbles, throws the box away, and flees the scene before the fireworks fully explode.

Social media users condemn the foolish act

The video serves as a cautionary tale, highlighting the potentially devastating consequences of mishandling fireworks. Social media users have been quick to condemn the man's actions, labeling him with terms like "Kathron ke khiladi" (player with firecrackers) – a fitting moniker for his reckless behavior.

This incident serves as a crucial reminder. Fireworks are not toys. They are explosives that can cause serious injury or even death if not handled with extreme caution.
