Viral Video of Man Testing Children's Safety Net By Climbing Off Balcony Has Internet Worried

Families residing in high-rise buildings always grapple with the constant worry of their children accidentally falling from balconies. To mitigate this risk, they diligently implement various safety measures, such as installing a safety net along the balcony edges, encompassing the entire area. This safety net ensures that in the event of a child slipping off the balcony, they become ensnared in the net, averting the perilous consequences of a fall.

However, a recent incident stirred controversy when a video surfaced on Instagram, shared by the handle @sachkadwahai. The video showcased a man testing the functionality of a child’s safety net in a rather unconventional manner. The man sprinted from a distance and leaped off the balcony, mimicking potential scenarios in which a child might fall.

Despite the audacity required to engage in such a risky act, the internet expressed discontent with his actions.

Upon the video going viral, concerns were raised about the perceived recklessness of the man’s approach.

Criticisms ranged from labelling the act as foolish to questioning the man’s judgment. Quoting one user, “That’s why women live longer than men,” and another remarking, “That’s why white people think we with colored skin are dump.” The sentiment echoed by many was that the man should have followed proper safety procedures.
