The wheel is shown striking Mr Alex’s head, which is protected by a helmet, and propelling him forward a few steps.

Mr Alex’s helmet is seen wedged under the wheel when the bus stops. The bus then goes back to get the helmet off, and people gather around to help the 19-year-old, who manages to get away.

As the video gained popularity online, the Bengaluru Traffic Police (BTP) also sent a message about the need to wear helmets. “Wearing a helmet is equally important for the pillion rider,” continued the tweet.

A local news source wrote about what happened in Belford Roxo, Rio de Janeiro, on Monday.

The accident barely harmed Alex. On a curve, he saw a bus arriving as he was headed to a bakery. Startled, he tried to halt his bike but slid and fell beneath the bus. The collision footage has gone viral.

Mr Gowda’s post has received over 30,000 views, along with numerous likes and comments.

“Omg very scary, but yes good helmet can save ur life,” a user remarked.

“The video is scary and not from India. But the point is well understood,” added another.
