Bengaluru Traffic Police shared a message on the importance of helmets.
Bengaluru's Joint Commissioner of traffic police Dr BR Ravikanthe Gowda recently shared a chilling video and urged bikers to use only “good quality ISI mark helmet”. The horrifying clip shows a man on a bike dodging death even after coming under a wheel of a bus.
The video opens to show the man, identified as 19-year-old Alex Silva Peres, riding a two-wheeler at a turning and then falling right under a bus coming from the opposite direction. The wheel is seen hitting Mr Alex's head - which is covered with a helmet - and throwing him a few feet forward.
Watch the video below:
As the bus comes to a stop, Mr Alex's helmet is seen stuck under the wheel. The bus then reverses to release the helmet, while people gather to help the 19-year-old, who manages to walk away.
As the clip gained traction online, the Bengaluru Traffic Police (BTP) also shared a message on the importance of helmets. “Wearing helmet is equally important for the pillion rider,” the post read on Twitter.
