In recent times, risky actions for the sake of social media content have become increasingly prevalent, raising significant concerns for public safety. From reckless challenges to irresponsible behavior on the roads, such antics not only endanger those participating but also put other road users at risk.
Dangerous Stunt Caught on Camera in Putrajaya
A recent viral video has caused outrage and concern over road safety in Malaysia. In a 15-second clip shared on the social media platform X by the account @/update11111, a man was captured leaning dangerously far out of a moving Toyota Camry’s backseat window to film a nearby blue Honda City. According to NST, the incident, which appeared to take place on a busy road in Putrajaya, left viewers in shock over the man’s reckless behavior. The man, who was seen holding a gimbal and mobile device, dangling his body close to the road’s surface while attempting to capture footage of the Honda City.
His actions were not only hazardous for himself but also posed a significant danger to other vehicles traveling alongside, including cars and motorcycles. The stunt has been criticized as yet another example of individuals endangering themselves and others in pursuit of viral fame.
Backlash from the Public
The video quickly attracted backlash online, with many users expressing frustration and concern over the man’s actions. Comments flooded in, condemning the stunt for its sheer recklessness.
One user commented, “the highest level of stupidity,” directly criticizing the man’s actions as foolish and reckless.
Another user expressed frustration, saying the man was troubling others and suggested that if he wanted to make such a video, he should do it on an empty road instead. This shows how his act caused inconvenience to other road users.
“What a bother. I don’t care what car you’re using but if you want to make these kinds of contents, please do it on an empty road.”
However, not all reactions were negative. One user stated that they don’t see a single problem from the man’s actions in the video, showing indifference towards the safety concerns raised by others.
Risks of Stunts on Busy Roads
Performing stunts on busy roads has become an alarming trend fueled by the desire for social media attention. While some online stunts may seem harmless, reckless actions on the road can have far-reaching consequences, endangering lives and leading to potential legal repercussions for those involved.
Road users and content creators are urged to prioritize safety and consider the impact of their actions on public welfare.
