VIDEO: Man narrowly escapes death during Saudi wedding celebration

RIYADH: A video has emerged of a wedding celebration in Saudi Arabia, showing trigger-happy participants making no safety precaution while resorting to gunfire.

The video shows a group of men firing shots in a traditional dance to celebrate the marriage of the bride and groom.

They dance in a circle before aiming their shotguns skywards as they leap into the air.

But it could have ended in tragedy after one man mistakenly opened fire in the direction of the guests.

One unlucky guest finds himself in the wrong place at the wrong time as the gunfire blasts his headdress, blowing it clean off and missing his head by inches.

And fellow onlookers can only watch in horror as the headpiece bursts into flames.
