Harlem Shake fire: A German man partaking in the Harlem Shake dance craze slipped and fell into a bonfire, according to YouTube video footage uploaded of the event.

The man, who was not identified, was pulled out immediately after by a friend.

The video shows several friends in front of a fire before the man attempts the Harlem Shake, a type of dance that has gone viral. At one point earlier this year, 4,000 of such videos were uploaded per day, according to a report.

The dance was inspired by DJ Baauer’s “Harlem Shake” song that was released last year.

In the footage, the man  appears to flail wildly in front of the fire before he lost his footing, falling into the blaze.

The Daily Mail reported that the video was recorded in Germany. The man only suffered a few blisters in the incident.

Several weeks ago, a group of Australian mine workers were fired from their jobs after they uploaded a video doing the Harlem Shake.
