This is the moment a man carrying a huge keg of beer slips and falls causing it to explode and spray him with foam.
Footage shows the man staggering drunkenly towards the entrance of a residential building in Ufa, Russia, on 20th August.
He is holding the large brown barrel in his hands when he suddenly slips on the wet asphalt.
As he crashes to the ground, the keg bursts apart and a fountain of beer shoots into the air.
The man gets back up and inspects his hand to check for injuries.
No one was reported hurt in the incident.
The deafening bang from the keg explosion set off the alarm of a car parked nearby.
It later emerged that the man had picked the container up from a rubbish dump and was trying to carry it home before the fall. The keg is the type commonly used for beer or kvass dispensing machines, which typically hold 20 to 30 litres.
Experts say beer explodes in this way because it is stored under pressure with carbon dioxide. When a container is struck hard or damaged, the pressure forces the gas to escape instantly, creating a violent release of foam that can eject nearly all of the liquid in seconds.
In a similar incident in Zelenograd, a schoolboy was reportedly hospitalised when a beer keg exploded as he threw it into the air. Doctors said he suffered a laceration to his hand.
And another incident in Vladimir, medics reportedly treated a boy whose face was injured by an exploding bottle.
