Another man says off camera: 'It's burned up your back, your T-shirt's wrecked.'

The rocket suddenly goes off and sparks shoot down the man's back causing him to lurch forward and quickly remove it from his bottom before it explodes.

A spokesman for the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents told The Sun: 'It doesn't take a bright spark to know that fireworks are not to be toyed with.

'Historically, around 1,000 people visit A&E for treatment of a firework-related injury in the four weeks around Bonfire Night.

'We recommend families enjoy fireworks at an organised display and follow the Firework Code, which can be found on our website.'

The video appears to have been filmed in someone's back garden.

At the start of the clip a child is ushered inside while they take part in the dangerous stunt. The man's identity is not known, but he has a Scottish accent.
