In spite of the grave dangers involved, there are foolish brave-hearts who perform stunts on a moving train and end up having a tragic accident.
In a recent incident of a stunt gone wrong, a man was shooting a TikTok video of him hanging from a moving train when he loses balance and falls off on the tracks. The incident took place in India, although the exact location and train details are not known.
A video of the accident was tweeted by Indian Railway Minister Piyush Goyal in a bid to urge passengers to refrain from engaging in life-threatening stunts while on a moving train. In the 7-second clip, the man is seen hanging out of the train's compartment but loses balance and falls under the running train. Miraculously, he is saved by a whisker and is seen standing up a few seconds as passengers aboard the train watch in horror, reported Hindustan Times.
Sharing the video on Twitter, Goyal wrote: "Showing stunts in a moving train is a sign of cowardice, not bravery. Your life is priceless, do not put it in danger. Follow the rules, and enjoy the safe journey."
