Video sparks outrage
The video has triggered outrage online, with many users slamming the adults in the vehicle for allowing such dangerous behaviour.
Reacting to the clip, one user wrote, “Omg..horrible. Poor child. Hope the child is safe. Parents are fully responsible for this accident. Not sure why these sunroof features are provided in India. It needs to be banned.”
“The poor child.... hope he is not badly hurt. Just terrible that parents don't realise how dangerous it is to let them stick their head out of a car,” expressed another.
“This should be a warning to all those who drive like this, with their children’s or friends heads popping out. Look out!!” commented a third user.
“I’m so sorry for the kid. It’s heartbreaking to think he’s unaware of the dangers. As a parent or driver, it’s our responsibility to keep our children safe, and that means never letting anyone open the roof while we’re driving. It’s just not worth the risk,” wrote one user.
