A scary video has emerged of a paragliding close call with a tank full of explosive in Florida, US.

The footage, shot by a neighbour earlier this month captured the moment when a barrel full of explosive was shot up in the air and almost landed on a paraglider sailing above a field.

According to Dave, the filmer, him and his neighbour Karel had planned this show to impress their friends. The two friends have both years of experience in their own fields, being shooting explosive and paragliding, and planned it so it would not be dangerous for Karel but would scare their guests watching from the ground.

A video shot from the point of view of Karel shows that the tank, which rose up to 380 meters high, actually fell a few meters away from him.
