An amusing video has emerged from Canada of man attempting to launch a bottle rocket with a GoPro camera attached.

In the video, the filmer places dry ice inside the plastic bottle hoping a camera on top will capture amazing footage as the rocket blasts off into the air.

Unfortunately, the carbon dioxide produced by the dry ice fails to launch the rocket and instead the bottle explodes with such force that the camera is blown out of its waterproof case and captures none of the action.

"It was a glorious fail, if I do say so myself," the filmer later wrote online.

This was my first attempt at making a dry-ice rocket with a GoPro on top. the idea was that the cap would blow off, and the bottle would rocket into the air with the GoPro, capturing an amazing image. It turned out to be a dry-ice bomb, that blew up with such force the GoPro blew out of the waterproof case, the floaty back blew clean off, and the camera itself captured none of the flight.

It was a glorious fail, if I do say so myself.
