Toggle reverse video with JQuery onclick

Question

I have an html video and I have been manipulating the speed of playback, I understand by using a minus numeric value the video can play in reverse. On click of the video I would like to toggle the playback to play backwards or forwards respectfully.

$('video').click(function(){
   $('.slow-video').toggleProp({
      playbackRate: -0.6,
      playbackRate: 0.6
    });
});

This is incorrect. Setting a negative playbackRate does not play the video in reverse, source: MDN

There are methods to play videos backwards, but they are rather hacky - Is it possible to play HTML5 video in reverse?
