Messing With Homemade Explosives is Risky Business

If you’ve ever stopped your best friend during whatever they were doing for the day and decided you may just need to build a homemade explosive and test it out somewhere in the woods, then there could be something wrong with you. These two gentlemen wanted to try out some fire power, but didn’t quite calculate the exact proportions correctly for what they wanted to accomplish.

The video starts slow, like most hilarious videos tend to, but picks up steam – literally – when the explosive is finally set. With barely even a loud pop, the explosive kicks off with a very disappointing smoke ball. The two men – naturally curious, of course – decide they need to take a closer look at the homemade explosive.

Of course, walking up to a live explosive and sticking your face in it probably isn’t the bet of ideas. The volatile mixture fires off with a large flame ball pointed directly at their faces. Both men manage to clear the way, but the fear is definitely present.
