In the video, one girl stands while her companion climbs onto her shoulders, aiming to execute a backflip in mid-air. However, the stunt goes terribly wrong as the girl attempting the flip fails to land safely, crashing onto the road with considerable force and sustaining visible injuries.

Originally posted on Instagram with the caption "Waist broke," the video quickly gained traction, amassing over 1.7 million views since February. Comments flooded in from concerned viewers, expressing a mix of worry for the girls' safety and criticism of the reckless behavior exhibited.

"This serves as a stark reminder of the potential consequences of such actions," remarked one viewer, visibly concerned. Another echoed similar sentiments, emphasizing, "Public roads are not playgrounds for risky stunts."

While some users stressed the importance of caution and safety in such activities, others condemned the trend of sharing dangerous stunts for internet fame. "It's troubling to see such risky behavior being glorified," noted one commenter, reflecting a sentiment shared by many social media users.
