The video was shared today on the social media platform X (formerly Twitter) and sparked a wide range of reactions. While some criticised the jeep driver for negligence, others raised concerns about the safety measures in place during safari rides.
Taking to the comment section, “ This was about to happen. I was commenting the same on every such post. The jeeps are open, the sudden change in speed or even the potholes on the road may cause tourist gets thrown out of the vehicle. Even jungle safari in Africa do the same shit when they go close to rhino,” a user wrote. “Overcrowded jeeps, without a licensed driver. full of corruption everywhere. That's India for you,” added a second user.
"What sort of driving is that? why are all the tourists standing when the vehicle is moving? Driver and guide need to be taken to task," a third user commented. "Basic problem; safety is not considered. Money-minded Safari’s. Who is checking seat belt or driving speed ?" added a fourth user.
