A chilling video showing a man performing pull-ups on live power cables has gone viral, sparking outrage and concern across the internet. The clip, posted by FitnessHaven on Instagram, shows the man dangerously hanging from what appear to be live electrical wires—a stunt that could have had deadly consequences.
While NDTV could not independently verify the authenticity of the video, it has garnered over 2.3 million views on Instagram, leading to intense reactions from viewers. Many criticized the man’s reckless behavior, with one user remarking, “Training with death,” while others expressed disbelief at his apparent disregard for his safety. One person quipped, “Bro is acting like he’s got spare lives,” while another joked, “Making some muscles before being cooked.”
Some commenters questioned the authenticity of the wires, asking, “Are we sure those wires are active? Because if they are, this guy is unbelievably lucky!” However, the general consensus was that such dangerous stunts should not be promoted, especially with the potential influence on younger viewers. One concerned user warned, “What if a child sees this and tries to imitate it? This kind of content should be banned.”
The viral stunt has reignited discussions about the risks of viral trends and the need for stricter content moderation to prevent life-threatening behavior from gaining traction.
Earlier, a similarly disturbing viral video showed three boys hanging by nooses during a school function, adding to ongoing concerns about the impact of dangerous social media trends.
