LONDON (AFP) - A man was rushed to hospital in Britain with severe internal injuries after trying to launch a powerful firework from his bottom, an ambulance service spokesman said.
It is thought that the 22-year-old could have been trying to imitate a scene from "Jackass: The Movie", a controversial film featuring a series of edgy pranks.
Footage of the incident in Sunderland, north-east England, was captured on a mobile phone by a gang of youths and shows a white flash followed by hysterical laughter and a youth shouting: "Ha ha ha ha," followed by an expletive.
A spokesman for the North East ambulance service said: "We received a call stating there was a male who had a firework in his bottom and it was bleeding."
He is now recovering in a Sunderland hospital after sustaining internal injuries including a scorched colon.
The incident took place on November 5, when Britons light bonfires and let off fireworks to commemorate a 17th century plot to blow up the Houses of Parliament.

LONDON - Renowned astrophysicist and best-selling author Stephen Hawking is getting a divorce, according to media reports Friday.
British newspapers reported he and his wife, Elaine, have lodged divorce papers at Cambridge County Court.
Graham Jones, the office manager at the court, said he could not comment on family cases.
Hawking's university spokeswoman, Judith Croasdell, declined to comment on the reports.
Hawking has been married to his wife, Elaine, 55, for 11 years. Hawking divorced in 1991 from his first wife, Jane, with whom he has three children.

GEORGETOWN, Pa. - Dozens of Amish neighbors came out Saturday to mourn the quiet milkman who killed five of their young girls and wounded five more in a brief, unfathomable rampage.
Charles Carl Roberts IV, 32, was buried in his wife's family plot behind a small Methodist church, a few miles from the one-room schoolhouse he stormed Monday.
His wife, Marie, and their three small children looked on as Roberts was buried beside the pink, heart-shaped grave of the infant daughter whose death nine years ago apparently haunted him, said Bruce Porter, a fire department chaplain from Colorado who attended the service.
About half of perhaps 75 mourners on hand were Amish.
"It's the love, the forgiveness, the heartfelt forgiveness they have toward the family. I broke down and cried seeing it displayed," said Porter, who had come to Pennsylvania to offer what help he could. He said Marie Roberts was also touched.
"She was absolutely deeply moved, by just the love shown," Porter said.
Leaders of the local Amish community were gathering Saturday afternoon at a firehouse to decide the future of the schoolhouse, and of the school year itself.
The prevailing wisdom suggested a new school would be built.
"There will definitely be a new school built, but not on that property," said Mike Hart, a spokesman for the Bart Fire Company in Georgetown.
Roberts stormed the West Nickel Mines Amish School on Monday, releasing the 15 boys and four adults before tying up and shooting the 10 girls. Roberts, who had come armed with a shotgun, a handgun and a stun gun, then killed himself.
Roberts' suicide notes and last calls with his wife reveal a man tormented by memories — as yet unsubstantiated — of molesting two young relatives 20 years ago. He said he was also angry at God for the Nov. 14, 1997, death of the couple's first child, a girl named Elise Victoria who lived for just 20 minutes.
Hart is one of two non-Amish community members serving on a 10-member board that will decide how to distribute donations that have come in following the global news coverage. One stranger walked into the firehouse Saturday morning and dropped a $100 bill in the collection jar.
The condolences flowing into the Bart Post Office filled three large cartons on Saturday — two for the Amish children and one for the Roberts clan.
"(It's) envelopes, packages, food and a lot of cards," clerk Helena Salerno said.
More than $500,000 has been pledged, some of which is expected to cover medical costs for the five surviving girls. They remain hospitalized, and one is said to be in grave condition.
As the Sabbath Day approached, close friends expected to spend Sunday paying visits to the victims' families.
The funerals for the five slain girls — Marian Fisher, 13; Anna Mae Stoltzfus, 12; Naomi Rose Ebersol, 7, and sisters Mary Liz Miller, 8, and Lena Miller, 7 — were held Thursday and Friday.
One Amish woman, an aunt to the Miller girls, set out Saturday to retrieve some of the flowers dropped near the school and bring them to the families.
She was traveling on an Amish scooter and tried to balance two potted plants before going home and returning for the task with a child's small wagon.
The massacre sent out images to the world not only of the violence, but also of a little-known community that chooses to live an insular, agrarian way of life, shunning cars, electricity and other modern conveniences.
By Saturday, the hordes of satellite trucks and stand-up reporters had mostly left the country roads, and a semblance of routine returned. Early in the morning, Amish farmers hauled farm equipment past the boarded-up school.
"It was just getting to be too much," said Jane Kreider, a 48-year-old teacher's aide in Georgetown. "It was just, 'Get out of dodge, get out of our town and we'll pull together.'"
Bonnie Graham told police she had been taking a walk on one of the paths that
runs through the wooded area between Witham Hill Drive and Harrison Boulevard
and was sitting on a bench in the dark when she heard a sound that she believed
to be an animal.
According to Officer Jim Zessin, Graham became
frightened and took off running into the woods. After a time, she twisted her
ankle and began crawling.Ok I gotta pause for a minute here. You hear a sound coming from somewhere and you run into the woods for safety? Sounds like a making of good horror movie.
She eventually found her way into a tangle of
blackberries, where she stayed until Friday afternoon, when her cries for help
were heard by 19-year-old Trevor Heald.
Graham believed she had been in
the woods for three or four days, but according to police, Graham’s boyfriend
said he last saw her last Saturday. Police received a missing person report from
Graham’s boyfriend Friday morning.
Police estimate Graham is in her late
40s or early 50s, but could not confirm her age.
Officers were
astonished that Graham had made her way so far from any trail. She was found a
ways from any established bike or truck trail.
“I crawled 50 to 60 yards
on my hands and knees,” through a thicket of blackberries to get to Graham,
Zessin said.
Heald said he first heard Graham’s cries for help while he
was hiking, and following the sound of her voice, he established where she was
stuck, but couldn’t see her.
He didn’t have a cell phone, so he hurried
back home and called police to report that someone was injured in the brush.
Heald met Zessin back at the property, and led him to where he believed
Graham was.
“He did a great job,” Zessin said.
When Zessin
called out to Graham, her voice was so weak it sounded like a child’s. Zessin
was able to crawl through the blackberries to reach her.
“He valiantly
plowed through this tiny pathway,” Heald said as he pointed to a small tunnel in
the blackberries.
Police, paramedics and firefighters were called in to
extricate Graham from the brush. Because she was so far from any path, the
police and firefighters who first reached her had to place shirts, water bottles
and other indicators along the trail to lead the way.
It took saws, axes
and a lot of stomping to clear a path big enough to carry Graham through on a
backboard. As they waited for the path to be cleared, paramedics administered
fluids and pain medication, and Zessin and others kept her talking and made sure
she was alert.
“It was just a miracle that young fellow was hiking up
here to hear her,” said officer Steven Teeter, who helped lead firefighters to
Graham’s location, and who said there had been unconfirmed cougar sightings in
the area recently.
“That was my biggest fear, there were cougars. That’s
why we weren’t leaving until we found something or somebody.”
“I don’t
know how she got in there,” officer Avena Glock said.
She looked at the
hole where other officers had climbed through, evidenced by the bloody scratches
on Sgt. Michael Mann’s arms.
“It’s like Alice in Wonderland, crawling
through there,” Glock said.
When the path was finally cleared, and
paramedics were able to load Graham and carry her toward an ambulance parked
near the OSU poultry barns on Harrison Boulevard, everyone appeared relieved.
“Good job, Jim,” office Kyle Voll said to Zessin, who was also covered
in scratches, and, he feared, poison oak. Zessin said he could remember the last
time he’d been on a similar rescue mission.
“In the Marine Corps,” he
said dryly.
