GoPro video released by a Ukrainian Soldier conducting combat operations near Bakhmut captures the moment a Rocketeer gives himself a lifetime subscription to Excedrin by firing an RPG indoors.

Remember kids, explosive rockets are not meant to be fired indoors where there is nowhere for the overpressure to escape. For the uninitiated, overpressure is defined as the sudden onset of a pressure wave after an explosion. When a rocket is fired, a backblast is created and released from the rear of the rocket tube. This backblast area is essentially just a large cone of overpressure. When that has nowhere to go, it simply reverberates, and in this instance I can guarantee you this dude was nearly immediately regretting his decision to fire that rocket.
