In a stunt gone wrong, a man caused a huge explosion in his garden after he thought it would be a bright idea to throw lit candles onto a large mound of garbage soaked in highly-flammable substances.
Viral footage of the incident, which should clearly be labeled with a “Do not try this at home” caption, has now hit over 300,000 views.
The man is seen hesitating and taking a few steps back in the footage, which is believed to have been taken somewhere in Germany. He tosses the candles onto the giant mountain of crumpled paper.

A frightened woman who is filming the commotion lets out a scream and backs into the house for safety as the flames spread.
