In yet another disturbing instance of social media showoff gone wrong, a video has surfaced online showing a young man performing a reckless stunt on the edge of a moving train, all in the name of creating viral content. 

The footage has sparked massive outrage across social media platforms, with netizens demanding strict action and permanent bans on such dangerous behaviour.

Risking Life for Likes

The now-viral clip shows the man, dressed in a white checked shirt, blue jeans, and slippers, stepping out of the train and running along its narrow outer ledge. What makes the stunt even more perilous is the location, a railway bridge over a river, where a single misstep could have proven fatal. The train appears to be moving slowly, but the danger of the act is unmistakable.

Despite the glaring risk, the man continues smiling at the camera, clearly more focused on his reel than his safety.

Public Outrage and Demands for Action

Social media users were quick to condemn the act, slamming the individual for putting lives at risk for digital clout. One user wrote, “Such accounts should be banned.” Another demanded, “This person should be arrested. A video of his punishment must be shared to prevent others from doing the same.”

A third user, highlighting the recklessness with irony, commented, “The reason why women live longer than men.”

Call for Accountability

As dangerous stunts for social media views become increasingly common, users are now urging authorities and platforms to crack down hard before such content turns deadly. With lives at stake, many believe it's time for both legal consequences and responsible digital regulation.
