A man lies under a moving train to make a reel.

Despite social media content creators being regularly warned of stringent action against life-threatening stunts performed in public, a man in India was filmed lying on the railway tracks letting the train speed past over him. The video has since gone viral on the internet, sparking outrage among netizens and also a strong warning from Hyderabad City Police Commissioner V C Sajjanar. Sharing the video on his X account, Sajjanar wrote, “Be responsible, not reckless!” The video begins with the man waiting on the railway track until the train approaches, then he positions himself by lying on his stomach on the track. In the breathtaking video, he lies unhurt as the train passes over him due to the narrow clearance between the body and the train. After the stunt, the man stood up triumphantly, rejoiced, and posed for the camera.

Netizens react to the viral video.

One user reacted, “This is one type of risky adventure. Very bad. Still, these young people do. Good that you advised them never risk life.” Another expressed, “Railway department has to take action against him.” A third person remarked, “Not irresponsible, these guys are spoiling other kids with nonsense actions. I think Australia did the right thing by stopping the use of mobile phones for kids, and now it’s time we should act on it, and especially these kinds of acts should be banned and bring a stringent law.”
