Viral Video: It’s no surprise that people are pushing extremes for a few likes and views. Conversations about how social media is influencing the mindset of this generation are common. Yet another video has surfaced, leaving viewers stunned. A man fell from a moving train while filming a Reel for Instagram, sparking outrage online and raising serious safety concerns.
In the viral video, the man is seen hanging dangerously from the train’s door. Within moments, fellow passengers rushed to his aid. Fortunately, the train came to a stop, allowing him to climb back inside. According to reports, the incident took place on a train traveling from Kasganj to Kanpur.
The viral video was shared on the social media platform X (formerly Twitter) by the user 'Ghar Ke Kalesh.' It was captioned, "A young guy fell from a moving train while performing a stunt for a Reel. Later, people saved him somehow. Kasganj to Kanpur." The video, uploaded yesterday, has already garnered 141K views from social media users.
Netizens wasted no time in reacting to the viral video, expressing shock and concern over the dangerous stunt. One user sarcastically wrote, "Next time, maybe try a stunt that doesn’t involve a one-way ticket to the hospital." Another user commented, "I don't know what has happened to people; they are putting their lives at risk under the influence of Reels."
A third user emphasised the importance of safety, saying, "Risking life for a Reel is not worth it! Glad he was saved, but I hope this serves as a lesson—safety should always come first." Echoing similar sentiments, a fourth user added, "This happens when a Reel becomes more important than life." "The actual issue is not making reels or TikTok. It's the people who watched & made famous the earlier cringe reelers & tiktokers. New generation Dehatis are just looking for a shortcut to fame just like the earlier ones. These things will continue & only increase in the future," a fifth user added.
