A wedding in Saudi
Arabia almost descended into tragedy when a guest came close to losing his head
in the boisterous festivities. Footage shows a group of men performing a traditional
dance as they take turns in firing guns skywards. One shooter's wayward aim
blows the scarf clean off a stunned guest, a few more inches and the wedding
would have been a funeral.
Luckily, the weapons
used in wedding celebrations are normally only loaded with gunpowder, rather
than bullets, so he was able to escape serious harm.
In the past, Saudis
fired live ammunition at weddings, but the practice was banned in 2012 after
people were killed by stray bullets. That year, 23 people were electrocuted
after an electric cable was shot down by celebratory gunfire at a wedding in
Saudi Arabia's Eastern Province. Watch the video below:
