“Viral Video from #Pune, the rise in bike stunts for social media fame is alarming. Risking lives for likes isn’t worth it. Recently, a girl was seen doing a stunt in #Hadapsar. If unchecked, these dangerous acts could lead to fatal accidents. Authorities must take swift action to ensure safety. Let’s #StopStunts and #StaySafe.”

User's reactions to the post:

The video, shared on June 16, quickly gained traction, amassing more than 27,000 views. Many social media users expressed their disapproval of the stunt, with one user commenting, 

“Pune two wheelers are the worst. Never wear a helmet and drive in a zig zag fashion.”

Another user questioned the consequences of such actions, suggesting, 

“What action will be taken against this girl? Ask her to WRITE an ESSAY of riding bike sitting oneside on it?”

“The youth of today have lots of skills, but not enough correct ways to express themselves. They need healthy outlets for it. There should be places for them to perform their stunts without risking their or others lives. The police and RTO should act in the strictest way possible,” a third user reacted.

Many believe that without swift action from authorities, these reckless acts could result in severe accidents or even fatalities. The video has reignited the debate on the responsibility of social media platforms and users in promoting safe and responsible behavior.
