Among them, a woman stands with her back to the train, completely unaware of the imminent danger.
As the train zips past, the woman moves even closer, desperate to capture the moment.
In a terrifying instant, she is hit on the head by the train. Onlookers can be seen in the video rushing to pull her away from the tracks, and she appears unconscious, highlighting the severe consequences of this reckless behaviour.
This incident underscores the growing trend of people risking their lives for social media fame. With others in the group hurriedly trying to capture their shots, it’s clear that the pursuit of viral content has led to increasingly dangerous stunts.
The speed and proximity of trains make filming near tracks especially hazardous, with such accidents often resulting in injuries or fatalities.
In their quest for attention online, many people are overlooking the real dangers posed by their surroundings. This incident serves as a sobering reminder: no photo or video is worth putting your life at risk. Always prioritise your safety and stay aware of the potential hazards around you.
