Impressive spinning rocket was sent spiraling hundreds of meters into the air at a rocket festival in Thailand

Footage was taken by a reveler at a festival in Thailand and shows a group of brave men setting light to the giant wheel - before running away from it.

As the spinning rocket builds up speed, it begins to take off and races into the bright blue sky.

Climbing for hundreds of meters and for more than 30 seconds, all the rocket leaves behind is a twisted trail of smoke as onlookers cheer at the stunning sight.

It finally stops as it reaches into the clouds and begins falling to the floor - but not before a parachute is deployed to ensure it lands safely.
