New Delhi: The era of social media is such that people are ready to do anything for likes and views, even if it means risking their lives. One such shocking video is going viral on the internet these days, in which a girl got swept away by the strong waves of the sea while making a reel. People are surprised to see this scene and are raising the question whether the price of a reel is more than life?

Reel on the rock, then the accident happened

It is clearly visible in the video that a girl was standing on the rocks on the seashore and shooting a reel with her phone. She was posing in front of the camera, perhaps dancing to a trending song or recording a dramatic scene. But then a strong wave snatched her balance. In the blink of an eye, she went floating with the waves. This incident happened so fast that even the people present nearby could not understand anything. It is not clear where and when the video is from, and it is also not known whether the girl was rescued later or not. But this scene stunned every viewer.

. It has been viewed by thousands of people so far and there is a flood of comments. One user wrote, “What if death came, the reel has been made!” This satire reflects the craze of social media, which provokes people to take dangerous steps. Another expressed concern and said, “It is good that life was saved, otherwise this girl would have also gone missing along with the phone.” Someone raised the question, “Why do people risk their lives for the sake of reels?” This video not only became a topic of discussion, but also gave rise to a serious debate.

The craze of risking life
Making reels on the banks of sea, river and waterfalls has become a trend these days. People reach such places for beautiful background and “aesthetic” shots, but often ignore the danger. Experts always warn that caution should be exercised near water, as even a small mistake can prove fatal. The girl’s carelessness is clearly visible in this video as well. She was standing on a rock, where it was difficult to estimate the strength of the waves. One wrong move and everything went wrong.

What do experts say?

Safety expert Rakesh Sharma says, “Social media has created such a hunger for show-off in people that they forget their safety. Making reels by standing on the rocks on the seashore is very risky. It is not in the power of a common man to estimate the speed and direction of the waves.” He believes that it is important to learn a lesson from such incidents, otherwise this trend will increase.

People’s reaction

People are saying different things after watching this video on social media. Some took it as a joke, while some expressed serious concern. A user wrote, “It is scary to see this. Are likes really so valuable?” Another advised, “Think a hundred times before making reels at such places.” This video not only became a source of entertainment, but also gave a warning about how costly it can be to put one’s life at stake in the glamour of social media.

Lessons and questions

This incident forces us to think whether a reel is worth more than life? The girl’s drowning is not just an accident, but the result of the craze that has taken root in today’s youth. If she survived, it was her luck, but this does not happen every time. This video did not end by going viral, but left a question—will we sacrifice our lives for social media? Perhaps we all have the answer, we just need to adopt it.
