In the era of social media, the creation of visually striking reels and videos have become a widespread fascination.
Numerous content creators engage in perilous activities, from posing on cliff edges to executing hazardous stunts, thereby jeopardizing their safety and setting a perilous precedent for their followers—all in the quest for likes and shares.
A recent incident in Sri Lanka starkly illustrates the dangers associated with this trend.
A Chinese tourist, while attempting to film a selfie video from a moving train, leaned out of the door, clutching the railings. In a sudden turn of events, a tree branch struck her, pulling her off the train. This alarming moment was recorded on video, with the individual filming reacting in terror.
