Russian-Roulette-Toast Goes Awry, Guest Shoots Himself in Head

This sounds like a good idea on paper–using a gun during a wedding toast–but, believe it or not, it’s actually a bad idea.

Damn.

The New York Daily News nails it, calling this “what may be the worst wedding toast of all time.”

As you can see yourself from the below video, a dude uses a prop for a wedding toast. Okay so far. But that prop is a handgun. Not the best idea, but maybe it’s fake, right? No it’s quite real. He hands the gun to someone else… who shoots himself.

From DailyMail.co.uk:

A wedding guest was arrested by police after a man was seriously wounded playing ‘Russian roulette’ in front of a horrified bride and groom.

The guest had been giving a toast when he pretended he was playing the deadly game with a gun that he claimed he thought was entirely empty.

But then he gave the gun to another guest – and it turned out that he had been tragically wrong.

The second guest also fired the handgun against his head – and dropped to ground as a rubber bullet exploded into his skull.

You can watch the video yourself here. (Warning. Obviously, it’s graphic.)
