In an incident that occurred last Saturday in Sri Lanka, a Chinese tourist fell from a train while trying to take a photo for social media. Fortunately, the tourist fell onto some bushes and did not suffer serious injuries. In videos recorded by eyewitnesses on their cell phones, the young woman can be seen leaning out of the train window and trying to pose while holding onto the railings. At that moment, as the train passed through a wooded area, the woman lost her balance and fell from the carriage after hitting the branches. Other passengers who witnessed the incident experienced great panic, and the train was stopped at the next station, allowing passengers to return to the scene to help the woman. Local police officials issued a safety warning to all train passengers following the incident. They specifically cautioned against engaging in dangerous behaviors for the sake of taking photos and emphasized the importance of adhering to safety rules. In recent years, the number of tourists engaging in dangerous behaviors to gain likes on social media has been steadily increasing. A similar incident occurred recently in Dalian, China, where a tourist caught and tortured a wild bird to take a photo. In the United States' Yellowstone National Park, a tourist suffered severe burns after putting their hand into a scalding hot spring with a temperature of 80 degrees, despite warnings. Experts emphasize that individuals engaging in dangerous behaviors for social media put both themselves and those around them at risk, and such actions can lead to serious injuries and even fatalities.
