Road Safety : Your life can change from a silly mistake.

The events are from my real life experience this week. It affected me so much that I'm writing about it.

My aim is to spread awareness among people about some safety measures or you can call it being attentive and being aware of your surroundings at all times.

I was boarding a bus from Delhi to Gurgaon, as you all know the low floor buses in India, I sat at very rear near window. I bought my ticket, plugged in my headphones suddenly the bus stopped and people started shouting, I looked out of the window there was a man under the bus, his legs were trapped in the rear wheels, low floor has two rear at each end. The driver hit reverse so that the guy can be retrieved I saw the man pulled his leg out and was shocked to see one feet was severely crushed and damaged. I've never seen anything like that. Luckily a PCR vehicle was nearby and cops too. They immediately took him to the hospital in that vehicle. 
Now that person didn't know that this is how his day is going to end up, he would have never imagined that he would lose his foot, the point is, a simple mistake to catch a running bus resulted in having to live a life without his foot.

I saw the ugly face of machines vs man, we created machines but we've to be careful around them. A machine won't know if you're hurt. A bus is a big transportation vehicle and driver does not have eyes in every corner, it's up to us to be careful around it. Whether you're on foot or bike or car, just don't fool around a bus or truck. 

Take care
