THIS is the shocking moment an idiot tried to launch a firework from his mouth before being hit in the face with sparks.
The man, identified only as Rhys, is said to have attempted the dangerous act in Sunderland, Tyne and Wear, during New Year's Eve celebrations.
Supposedly filmed around midnight, the video shows the young man sticking the firework between his teeth.
The clip then captures a friend lighting the rocket's fuse at the end.
It catches alight and Rhys, dressed in Under Armour shorts and a puffer jacket, turns away from the camera as his friends can be heard cheering in the background.

He balances the rocket in place gently with one hand as the fuse dwindles down before the rocket bursts to life.
Rhys is then hit in the face by a spray of orange sparks as the rocket starts to launch.
Rhys tosses the firework to the ground as he and his pals wheel away in shock.
The video ends before it's known whether the rocket exploded on the ground or not.
Rhys shared the video to social media on New Year's Day with the caption: "Happy New Year everyone! Just tried to shoot a firework out me mouth, must be a dud."
The clip has since gained more than 1,200 likes and 80 comments from users left bewildered by the risky stunt.
One said: "I'm always disappointed with these videos because it never shows you the damage afterwards."
Another added: "Suppose the year can only get better from here for him."
The actions in this video are not advised.
