E-rickshaw driver's 'Superman' stunt

Indian roads often witness daring and unusual feats by people looking to find creative solutions to their needs, and a recent viral video is yet another testament to this. The clip shows an electric rickshaw driver navigating a busy flyover in a bizarre manner. Loaded with large wooden boards, there was no room on his vehicle to sit, so he ‘improvised’.

The man simply lay on top of the stack in a position that can only be described as “Superman-like”. Lying flat on the boards with his arms stretched out to grip the handlebars, he appeared to be “floating” mid-air in traffic. The video appears to have been shot by another commuter.
