The internet is buzzing with outrage and disbelief after a video surfaced showing a young man performing a death-defying stunt on a moving train. In the video, the man, along with a friend, can be seen standing at the end of the train’s door. Suddenly, he places one foot on the platform and drags it with the train for an extended distance, intermittently lifting and putting it back. The train was clearly moving at a considerable speed, making the stunt incredibly dangerous. The man’s actions have sent shockwaves through social media, with viewers questioning his sanity and motives.
The video, which has garnered over 14.6 million views on Instagram, has been met with a storm of criticism. While the comment section has been disabled to prevent further backlash, it’s clear that netizens are appalled by the man’s reckless disregard for his own safety and the potential consequences of his actions.
This incident is sadly not an isolated case. A disturbing trend of individuals performing dangerous stunts for the sake of online fame and fleeting internet notoriety has emerged. Recently, a man was caught on camera standing on the roof of a moving car, with no one behind the wheel, while another woman put the life of her young child at risk by sitting on the edge of an open well while holding the child precariously by one arm. Two teenagers in Pune even risked their lives by performing a stunt involving one of them hanging from the edge of a building while being held by another.
These incidents raise serious questions about the lengths to which people will go for social media fame and the potential consequences of their actions. While the allure of internet virality can be intoxicating, it’s crucial to remember that the pursuit of online attention should never come at the expense of one’s safety or the safety of others. Performing dangerous stunts for a few likes is not only reckless and irresponsible but also sets a dangerous precedent for others. It’s time to remind ourselves that true online success lies in creativity, talent, and authenticity, not in risking lives for fleeting fame.
