Narrow escape for bike rider

The video shared by Viralhog on YouTube has caught the attention of netizens. Viralhog uploaded the video alongside the caption, "An iron gate falls just as a motorcyclist is passing through the alley. Luckily, the man behind the gate catches it before it strikes the rider." The video starts with a man coming out of his car, parked in front of his house. He removes a small piece of brick supporting the iron gates. As soon as he removed it, the gate broke into two parts. In the meantime, a bike rider passing by noticed the falling gate and tried to slow down the speed. The owner, however, held on to the gate tightly which saved the rider. He immediately parked his bike on the side of the road, got off it, and came to assist the owner in placing the broken gates on the outside wall. The two men can also be seen talking to each other.
