JOHANNESBURG, South Africa, June 15 (UPI) -- A South African man's dashboard camera captured the moment another driver's poor planning resulted in dozens of balloons flying into the air.

Matthew Rorke posted a video to YouTube showing the scene recorded by his dashcam Tuesday on a Johannesburg road.

A car with dozens of what appear to be helium-filled balloons affixed passes Rorke on the left side and immediately starts hemorrhaging balloons.

The balloons seem to mostly fly upward, so they don't pose a danger to other drivers.

Rorke passes the balloon car one last time, showing a vastly reduced balloon count that appears to be less than 10.

The uploader branded the scene "awesome."
