It is aviation related, in its way.

The soldiers in that video aren't French, they are Canadian.

That's what happens when the ejection charge fires
but the rocket motor doesn't ignite.

Somewhere on the web there's a very long report
on the development of the US Army's Redeye missile.
A similar thing happened with the missile ejecting
the launch tube, flying about 10 meters forward
and falling to the ground. Then the rocket motor
ignited and spun the missile around the ground
next to the observers. That would have made a
better movie, what with the 2 and 3 star generals
dancing.
