E-rickshaw driver’s daredevil act on flyover leaves internet stunned

The internet is captivated by an interesting and rather unusual sight from an Indian flyover. An electric rickshaw driver has become a viral sensation after taking on a tough situation in a way that no one would have anticipated. From amusement to deep reflection, the video has sparked all kinds of reactions.
An inventive solution to a packed rickshaw
The video shows a huge wooden plank loaded into an electric rickshaw. This left no space for the driver to sit on the rickshaw. He did not abandon the delivery or adjust the load but, instead, chose an unusual yet creative approach by lying flat on the wooden planks and holding onto the handlebars with outstretched arms. This posture made him look as though he were "flying" over the road, so it didn't take long before comparisons to Superman started coming his way.

Social media erupts with mixed reactions
According to several online media sources, the short video was recorded by a fellow commuter and went viral on social media almost instantly. Commenting on the driver's bold move wasn't difficult for the majority of social media users: some praised his creativity and others criticized the act concerning road safety.
One viewer humorously commented, “I dreamed of flying my bed down the street when I was a kid- - this man is actually doing it!” Another joked, “Only in India do you find solutions as daring as this. Driving here isn’t for beginners!”
On the other hand, some comments reflected a more serious perspective. One user wrote, “This is the reality of working-class struggles. He’s just trying to earn a living while risking his life on the road.” Others pointed out the dangers posed not only to the driver but to other commuters sharing the road.
A story of resilience and risk
The video, as light-hearted as it is, tells a deeper story of resilience. It depicts the way people are sometimes cornered into making risky and potentially dangerous decisions to fulfill their duties. For this driver, improvising with a "Superman pose" could have been his only chance to ensure he finished the delivery on time.
A lesson in creativity and caution
The e-rickshaw driver's cleverness has earned praise, but his stunt also highlights serious concerns about road safety, infrastructure, and the struggles people face just to get by. It’s a reminder of the tough challenges workers in low-income or informal jobs deal with every day, where they often have to rely on their creativity to find solutions.
The viral clip, though humorous to some, serves as a poignant example of how determination and resourcefulness can sometimes come at a high personal risk. It’s a story that highlights both the resilience and the vulnerabilities of the everyday worker.
