The incident happened opposite the Indo Fisheries fish processing unit near Elyarpadavu. The daredevilry of the youngster was captured by the three CCTV cameras of this firm. The youth hailing from Malar in Pavoor village escaped from the jaws of death by a slender margin. In this incident, the scooter also hit the door of the fish processing unit. When the scooter passed in between the shop and a tree, his helmet fell down. The youth continued to ride his scooter at the same speed.
The city bus bearing No. 44 which moves between the city and Elyarpadavu was being maneuvered by the driver for returning to the city in front of Indo Fisheries ahead of Elyarpadavu when the scooterist came at high speed. He managed not to hit the bus and then moved between the iron rod on the roof of a shop near the said fish processing unit and a tree near it. There was hardly enough space for one scooter to move between the rod and the tree but the scooterist managed to ride the scooter without stopping. The skilful way in which the scooter was handled is being appreciated and because of that the video has become viral.
Most of the time, people keep coming out of the small gate of the fish processing unit, and watchmen usually guard the gates. Children and pedestrians keep moving on the side of the road. As the incident happened when no one was around, a catastrophic accident was averted. The only damage done was to the gate.
