A man’s attempt to join a viral social media trend went embarrassingly wrong after being caught on a security camera.

The footage shows the man stepping out of his parked car to record himself, only to watch helplessly as the vehicle began rolling into the street. The failed stunt quickly turned dangerous as the car drifted away, creating a potential hazard for oncoming traffic.

No injuries were reported, but the incident highlights the risks of attempting viral challenges without proper safety precautions. Authorities have repeatedly warned that reckless stunts for online attention can lead to serious accidents or legal consequences.
