When it comes to Bollywood movies that have had a huge impact on young motorcycle enthusiasts, the name that comes first is “Dhoom.” This movie has inspired a lot of young riders into doing risky stunts on public roads. Recently, a video of an accident has been shared online in which, right before the crash, the biker was heard singing the theme song “Dhoom Macha le.”

The video of this biker’s accident has been shared on Instagram by Royal Enfieldholic on their page. It starts off with a bike rider on a bike riding on a twisty mountain road. What happens is, while he was singing the “Dhoom Macha le” song, he came to a right turn on which there were metal rails on the left to prevent an accident. However, what happened was that the bike rider could not make the turn in time, so instead of fully turning, he ended up going off the cliff just behind the metal rails.
What happens next?
The video shows that the biker could not manage to fully turn the vehicle. And he was also unable to brake in time, and because of these reasons, he went off the cliff. It appears from the video that the biker was hurt by the accident, but he was alive. We can also observe that he was wearing a full-sleeved hoodie and a pair of gloves. Most likely, he was wearing a helmet as well, as the video is from a helmet-mounted GoPro.
Lessons to take away
From this particular incident, we can take a few important lessons. The first is that we need to drive at a speed at which we can control the vehicle at any given point. The biker in this video was riding at a much higher speed than he could control and hence could not make the turn as well. Speaking of the turn, we should never drive into a turn at high speed. The bike or car, when turned at a high speed, can easily lose grip and swerve away from the road, causing a crash just like in the video.
Stunts on public roads
One of the biggest problems that the country is facing at the moment is that a lot of young riders are getting involved in stunting. These young riders perform reckless stunts on roads and become a danger for others traveling on the same roads. Just a few days ago, a video of a bike rider stunting in front of a truck on a highway went viral. In this video, he was standing on the seat of his bike right in front of a truck while both of them were at a decent speed.
What happened next was that the truck driver hit the biker, and he fell on the highway. It was noted that the biker was extremely lucky as he managed to get away from the front left wheel of the truck while falling down. If he had made contact with the wheel and gotten caught in it, then he would have been crushed to death. But somehow he managed to escape with just minor scratches on his hands and legs.
