The reel-making trend often prompts social media users to go beyond limits for videos, posing a threat to safety. In a recent incident, a Chinese woman fell from a moving train while leaning out the door to film a video.
According to Dailystar, the incident happened in Sri Lanka. The viral video shows the woman gripping the railings and leaning out of the train door when tree branches suddenly strike her, causing her to be pulled away. The man filming can be heard screaming in shock.
Sharing the video, Dailystar wrote, “Its reported the train was halted at the next stop and passengers went back to help her. The woman was not seriously injured.”

After the video came to light, several social media users slammed the woman for being irresponsible. A user wrote, “I wonder at some people and think what have they got between their ears.” Another user commented, “What a silly girl.”
“Stupidity over everything,” a third user reacted.
The Mirror reported that several passengers returned to the scene to help the woman when the train reached the next station. Last week, a video of a woman risking her toddler’s life while making a reel video emerged on social media. The woman was seen dancing as her young daughter wandered toward the road. Noticing his sister, her son quickly pointed it out to their mother, who rushed to her toddler and brought her back.
In another incident, a woman was slammed for filming a fatal stunt with her child near an open well.
