Man launches firework in the 'wrong' direction

Amusing footage of a man lighting a firework he's holding in his hand only for it shoot off in the wrong direction.

The video, filmed at the man's house in Ridgetown, Ontario, Canada at the weekend, shows the funny moment when the firework goes off, fortunately not injuring anyone.

He can be heard laughing at the end of the video laughing and saying "it went the wrong way."

The filmer later wrote online: "After a day of working on the yard we were having beers and heard some fireworks going off in town and decided to get a box of are own."
