Man Recording Countdown Spectacle Drops Phone Moments Before Epic Launch

You know how excited people get for a countdown? Once you take a look at this video, you’ll find out how excitement can sweep you off your feet and make you do the unthinkable, or in this case, the stupidest thing in your life! The man from our video decided to capture the long-expected countdown on his cellphone in order for others to enjoy later. However, he was in for a big surprise! Check it out!

Footage, filmed on July 28, 2018 in Readington, New Jersey, USA shows a crowd of people gathered at the Ballooning Festival waiting for the famous countdown when a man is launched off in the air and into a safety net in the sky.

The entire crowd is facing the man in the canon, cheering for him to brave up and prepare for the shoot-off. As additional incentive, the famous AC-DC hit “Thunderstruck” plays in the background. Tension rises as the man, dressed in a red uniform, waves to the crown, encouraging more cheers from them as he enters the canon. The speaker starts counting down from ten to one and that is when the most unexpected thing happens. The filmmaker gets a shaky hand and drops the phone only seconds before the man is launched in the air! Talk about a fail video, right!

The embarrassed man picks up the cellphone from the ground and continues filming the show, which is all over now, much to our disappointment. How did that happen? Was this a prank for viewers or did this man lose his balance and dropped the phone due to lack of control in his hand grip? We would never know!

We couldn’t help but laugh at this hilarious countdown fail. We bet the man from this video will have a very firm grip and a steady hand the next time he dares to film a video. He will even probably be super careful when filming in big crowds as chances are someone might walk pass by and accidentally push you, causing you to drop the cellphone or switch the focus on screen. You know how they say, we learn from our mistakes!

Talking about failed countdowns, check out this video featuring a cute tot preparing to make his epic jump into the lake! To make sure that this moment is as epic as can be, he decides to do a proper countdown to the big moment. However, you'll soon notice that this little cutie has a very special way of counting that is sure to bring a smile to your face. When it comes to counting, here are two cheeky toddlers whose attempt at counting will definitely put a smile on your face. Watch as the two-year-olds were asked by their dad to count to four, and hilarity ensued. The numbers one to four were lost among shouts of “seven” and “nine” but these guys are just so cute we have to forgive them. Adorable!
