Man crashes into pole while leaning out of moving train to film reel, falls down

A young man suffered a serious accident while filming a reel on a moving train. The incident raised urgent concerns about risky behaviour regarding social media content and railway safety.

A man suffered a serious accident as he crashed against a pole while leaning out of a moving train. He fell down while attempting to film a reel.

Krishnachnad Nishad, an Instagram user, shared the reel on his account where the man positioned himself at the open gate of a train coach while his friend recorded him on a mobile phone from inside the compartment.

In the now-viral footage, the young man could be seen standing at the edge of the doorway with most of his body leaning outside the moving train. He prepared for a dramatic shot, holding his pose while the person inside the compartment filmed the moment.

Before leaning further out, the man briefly glanced toward the tracks, checking if another train was approaching from the opposite direction. However, in focusing on the tracks, he overlooked the series of trackside poles positioned along the railway line.

Within seconds, as he stretched his body further outside the coach, his head violently collided with one of the poles. The impact was sudden and severe, and the man fell instantly from the train after the strike.

The video abruptly ended at that moment, leaving viewers uncertain about what happened next or the extent of the injuries he might have sustained. However, the force of the collision visible in the clip left several viewers shaken.
