In a daring display that could have easily turned tragic, a man in northern India’s Bihar was spotted performing dangerous bike stunts on a public road without wearing a helmet.

The incident took place in Samastipur on May 28.

Visuals showed how the man standing on his bike while riding it on a busy road.

One observer noted that it seemed like Yamraj ji, the Hindu god of death, was asleep, otherwise this could have ended in disaster. This remark highlights the cultural belief that divine intervention might have spared the biker from a fatal accident.

Despite the man’s apparent disregard for his own safety and that of others, there has been no official statement from the Samastipur police regarding any potential investigation or action against the stuntman. This incident underscores a larger issue within India, where road accidents remain a leading cause of death and serious injury, partly due to non-compliance with helmet laws and other traffic regulations.
