Stunt Man or Drama King? A Weekend’s “The Great Road Drop”
Sometimes a headline has to be as dramatic as the story it tells. In this case the headline is a bit of an over‑the‑top, but the footage itself is a real eye‑opener.
What actually happened
- An unexpected “high‑five” with the road: a man flung his body onto a street in the middle of the night, sure enough
- The road‑tumble was captured by a driver who was cruising down Serangoon North Avenue 5 on Monday evening
- Even though the vehicle almost brushed the pedestrian, it stopped in time and the driver prompted the on‑lookers with a fierce “What are you doing?”
- Record: the man never moved after landing, apparently convinced that he was auditioning for a film role
Why the internet turned up the volume
Once the video hit social media on Sept 28, netizens split into two camps:
- “What a 100 per cent insurance scam!” they cried, as if the guy was pretending to crash in hopes of a payout.
- Then came the “Oscar‑worthy” commentaries: “This fella deserves an Oscar Award” and “Drama king.” The comments were so theatrical that someone joked he might be ready for a role in “The Walk‑and‑Drop”.
What could happen next?
One user urged the driver to file a police report, saying that the incident is serious enough to be investigated. If the man wants a career on foot, he might try his hand as a stuntman—as long as he commits to staying off the pavement next time.
Takeaway
From the “falling master” to the “road‑crowd’s hot ticket,” this incident proved that the internet loves creative curiosity. But in the real world, explain yourself—else you may end up on a different kind of billboards.
